MEMORABLE FIXTURE

Millwall 1-2 City
Tuesday, April 30th 2019
The Den
Scorers: Paterson 76, Diédhiou 81
Att: 12,261

City fought from behind in dramatic style to overcome Millwall 2-1 at the Den, on the penultimate day of the 2018/19 campaign.

Lee Gregory had volleyed the hosts into a first-half lead but their push for a second goal proved unsuccessful, with the post coming to City’s aid before Max O’Leary’s save from a Shaun Williams penalty.

That proved to be the turning point as Lee Johnson’s side equalised through Jamie Paterson’s exquisite free kick only four minutes later, before Famara Diédhiou pounced to hit the winner less than ten minutes from the end.

The result meant City would end the season in the top nine and while their fight for a final play-off spot went down to the final game at Hull City, it wasn't to be.
