Millwall ended a run of 10 games without a win with an impressive 2-0 victory at Bristol City.
The Lions were sliding down the table after a horror run, but stopped the rot thanks to goals in either half from Tom Bradshaw and Mason Bennett.
The Lions took an 18th-minute lead when a Jed Wallace free-kick rebounded off the wall and into the path of Ryan Leonard, whose low drive from outside the box was deflected past Dan Bentley by Bradshaw.
And Millwall made it 2-0 in the 68th minute when City midfielder Han-Noah Massengo was robbed and the resulting counter-attack ended with Bennett curling in an exquisite right-footed shot from the left corner of the box.

Elsewhere, QPR are still without a win in six league matches after a 0-0 draw at home to Stoke City.
The Hoops have won just one of their past nine games – a run which has included five defeats and resulted in them sliding towards the Championship relegation zone.
