A very important three points for the home side Camiel Neghli scored his first Millwall goal to ensure his side’s push for a play-off place continued after a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough. Author - James P The Algerian midfielder pounced in the second half to take his team level on points with Boro.  The away side bossed the first half but Millwall's industry ensured their chances were kept to a minimum as Boro suffered a second consecutive defeat.
