Millwall 2-1 Hull City: Lions close in on play-offs with victory at the Den

Millwall moved to within a point of a Championship play-off place with a 2-1 win against Hull City at the Den.

Quick-fire goals from Scott Malone and Tom Bradshaw near the start of the second half gave the Lions just their second win in six games and keeps their promotion dream alive.

The home side came out all guns blazing after an uneventful first half and took the lead through a bizarre deflection, with Malone's block from outside the area going all the way in past Nathan Baxter in the Hull net.

Bradshaw scored his ninth goal of the season before Tom Eaves' late reply set up a tense finish to the match, but the home side held on to within a point of six-placed Sheffield United - who drew at Bristol City.
