Millwall made it back-to-back Championship wins for the first time since October as two second-half goals saw them come from behind to beat Reading 2-1 at the Madejski Stadium.
The Lions could’ve taken an early lead when Jake Cooper hit the bar after just seven minutes from Scott Malone’s cross before the full-back himself fired narrowly wide.
But sloppy play gifted Reading a 17th minute opener as Shaun Williams was caught in possession by Alfa Semedo who fired home from range with Bartosz Bialkowski out of his goal.
Ben Thompson should then have equalised from an effort just inside the box before a gilt-edged Lucas Joao chance produced a fine save from Bialkowski after a defence-splitting Michael Olise pass.
The second-half saw Millwall up the pressure and it eventually told when the ball fell kindly to Matt Smith in the box to rifle an equaliser past Rafael Cabral in the 76th minute.
Reading then had a penalty claim waved away before the Lions grabbed a winner with five minutes to play as Mason Bennett turned home a Malone cross with a superb header.
