Keeper Lukas Jensen joins Millwall fans in taunting Leeds fans at full time

Keeper Lukas Jensen joins Millwall fans in taunting Leeds fans at full time with the Lions making it four wins in a row.

Japhet Tanganga sealed all three points for Neil Harris’ in-form side to see them climb up to 5th in the Championship table, having been fourth from bottom when they kicked off at home to Plymouth just two weeks ago.

The only goal of the game came on the 40th minute, Tanganga met Cooper’s header down and volleyed the ball home with the outside of his boot.

In the 60th minute, the ball went in the back of the net for Leeds, but it was ruled offside. Bogle with the cross and Piroe guided the ball in, replays looked like it was on but it’s waved away.

The hosts nearly extended their lead, Cooper’s header was deflected onto the far post.

Millwall manager Neil Harris told BBC London 94.9:

“Let’s be honest – Leeds were better than us the way they moved the ball, with the one-on-one ability and rotation they’ve got. For me they’re going to win the league this year if they keep playing like that.

“We knew exactly what the game was going to be like, we knew the intensity was going to be high but the lads stood strong.

“For us it’s about discipline, being organised and structured as we can be and then finding a way to score at the other end. I’m very proud of the players this evening.

“The two centre-halves were magnificent. Japhet got the goal, Coops got the assist but it’s their defensive display that’s so important to us – the amount of blocks they made and the way they defended crosses.”

Harris per Sky Sports:

“They are the best team we’ve seen this season. It’s a special win for us. A classic Den performance, backs to the wall. But we were structured out of possession and the defensive discipline was mega.

“It’s great for me when managers say ‘you’re so hard to play against’. We are underdogs in a lot of games, that’s why we’re entitled to celebrate wins like tonight.

“Other teams are more hardened to being near the top than us. We know where we’re at. We know what we are.

“I can’t be any prouder of the team but we won’t settle for that. We want to keep upsetting teams, keep out-performing teams, and stay in the top reaches of this division.”

Leeds manager Daniel Farke told BBC Radio Leeds:

“I’m not annoyed at all with our performance – I thought we were excellent. This is a difficult place to go and I think we’ve created more situations in and around their box than the last four away teams here in total.

“You have to stay disciplined in each small situation. We were more or less playing in their half, but there will always be one or two set-piece situations.

“Football can sometimes be the most unfair sport in the world. If it’s tennis, basketball or handball and you’re dominating, the better side wins – but in football one goal is often decisive.

“It’s also about efficiency to use your chances or to make sure there are not little mistakes and in these terms they were better than us today. We have to accept it and congratulations to Neil and his team.”

Farke per Sky Sports:

“First of all you have to say congratulations to Millwall for excellent defending and excellent efficiency.

“They were more effective than us with their chances. You have to accept a loss sometimes.

“Football is sometimes like this. It can be the most unfair sport in the world. One goal is quite often decisive, the team concentrating on defending and with one chance can win.

“So I’m not annoyed at all. We created more chances in and around their box than the last four away teams here.

“The last team to win the title, Leicester, lost 11 games. It’s what happens in this league. It’s no major concern for me.”
