Millwall 1-1 Sunderland: Black Cats deny Lions with late equaliser

A late Sunderland equaliser prevented Millwall from moving into the Championship play-off places after a lively encounter at The Den.

Lions midfielder George Honeyman tapped in on the half-hour after keeper Anthony Patterson spilled Zian Flemming's shot, but the former Black Cats youth player was denied by an offside call.

Jake Cooper put the hosts ahead on the hour, hooking into the net from a corner after Patterson had tipped Honeyman's goalbound effort around the post.

But after mounting pressure, Dennis Cirkin bravely launched himself at Alex Pritchard's free-kick to head the visitors level.
