Highlights: Bristol City 1-2 Millwall

The first half saw City far from the standard they had set themselves in recent times, and fell behind after 11 minutes when Jed Wallace fired a low shot in at the near post.

Gary Rowett’s side set up defensively with a sea of dark blue shirts, frustrating the home side who went closest through a Josh Brownhill effort.

The Robins had not secured a home win over the Lions since January 2012 and while there were signs of improvement, helped by encouragement from the home fans, Millwall struck again when Jake Cooper beat Bentley with a glancing header.

Substitute Callum O’Dowda rifled in a late consolation but the result succumbed City to only their second home defeat of the season and they will now pick themselves up before hosting Blackburn Rovers in BS3 on Saturday.
