Millwall made it two wins from their last three Championship matches as they beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at The Den.
The Lions’ first chance came just before the half-hour mark after a superb move – Mason Bennett playing an inch-perfect ball for Jed Wallace only to see his effort well saved.
Millwall weren’t to be denied for long though as Billy Mitchell’s pass set Wallace away down the left before his subsequent cross turned into his own net by Grant Hall in the 31st-minute.
Danny McNamara should then have doubled the advantage five minutes before half-time after a brilliant Wallace pass, though his shot drifted agonisingly wide.
At the other end Yannick Bolasie squandered a great chance to equalise just before half-time but the forward scuffed his effort wide.
Boro upped the ante after the break with George Saville forcing a good save from Bartosz Bialkowski and an excellent block from Murray Wallace inside the first 15 minutes.
And with just over ten minutes to play, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson could have made the game safe but Boro keeper Marcus Bettinelli did well to save the bobbling ball.
