Millwall vs Leeds
Sky Bet Chship
3:00pm Saturday 5th October
The Den
By finishing their eight-game wait for a Sky Bet Championship success with a 2-1 triumph over Leeds in The Den millwall started life.
The Lions, who had trainer Adam Barrett accountable after Harris decision this week, to sit as manager, moved ahead thanks to Jed Wallaces early penalty, which watched Gaetano Berardi dismissed.
Tom Bradshaws second goal in 2 games, and goal at home for the team doubled the lead.
Ezgjan Alioski decreased the deficit but the hosts held on to record his first league success since August plus a ninth win in their past 11 home games against Leeds.
The three points so are right down to fifth and sees that the Lions climb up to 15th in the Championship, although Leeds fall out of the automatic promotion places.
As Wallace traded passes with Mahlon Romeo, the era practically got away to the perfect start, however the Lions right-back could not conquer Kiko Casilla in his near post in the first minute.
However, Millwall did not need to wait until they were in the lead. Bradshaw got to the wrong side of Berardi and he was brought by also the defender down over 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 resulting penalty in five games against the Yorkshire costume.
The Lions doubled their advantage just before the break and continued to swarm Marcelo Bielsas men. Ben Thompson, that had been back in the starting line-up after two matches, played with a cheeky pass to the path of both Shane Ferguson, who walked for Bradshaw, who subsequently used the pace in the ball to apply the finishing touch with an exquisite flick into the far corner via the post.
By introducing Barry Douglas for Helder Costa at half-time, which meant Alioski moved farther bielsa reacted. And that change paid dividends almost immediately as Alioski tapped home Jack Harrison cross from close range just Leeds goal in their last six trips to The Den.
Mateusz Klich went close to levelling after 68 minutes to the Whites, but his effort failed to issue Bartosz Bialkowski.
Leeds applied firm stood to pick up a much-needed victory in front of their own fans, despite being down to ten men.
