Sky Bet Chship
3:00pm Saturday October
The Den
Millwall started life after Neil Harris by ending their eight-game wait to get a Sky Bet Championship victory with a 2-1 win over 10-man Leeds.
The Lions, who had first-team coach Adam Barrett accountable following Harris decision earlier this week, to sit as manager, went to Jed Wallaces early punishment, which watched Gaetano Berardi blown off.
First goal at home for the team, and tom Bradshaws second goal in 2 games doubled the lead.
The deficit was reduced by ezgjan Alioski in the first moment of the second period, but the hosts held on to record a ninth win in their last 11 home games plus their first league victory since August .
The 3 factors sees while Leeds fall out of the automatic promotion places, the Lions climb up to 15th in the Championship and so are right down to fifth.
As Wallace exchanged passes with Mahlon Romeo, the post-Harris era nearly got off to the perfect start, however the Lions right-back couldnt conquer Kiko Casilla at his post in the first moment.
However, Millwall did not have to wait until they had been in the guide. Bradshaw got on the wrong aspect of Berardi and he was brought by also the protector down within a quarter hour.
Referee James Linington wasted no time in pointing to the area and then giving Berardi his marching orders until Wallace wonderfully discharged the punishment to the top rated corner for his third goal in five matches against the Yorkshire outfit.
The Lions continued to swarm Marcelo Bielsas men and doubled their advantage just before the break. Ben Thompson, who was back in the beginning line-up after two matches, played a cheeky pass to the path of Shane Ferguson, who drilled across for Bradshaw, who in turn used the pace over the ball to apply the finishing touch with a beautiful flick to the far corner via the post.
By introducing Barry Douglas for Helder Costa at half-time, which intended Alioski moved further bielsa responded. And that shift paid dividends almost immediately as Alioski tapped house Jack Harrison cross from close range just Leeds second goal in their last six trips to The Den.
Mateusz Klich went close to levelling to the Whites after 68 minutes, but his effort failed to trouble Bartosz Bialkowski.
Despite being down to 10 men, Leeds implemented some pressure but Millwall stood firm to get a success in front of their own fans.
