FA Cup: Chester City 0 Millwall 3

Chester are currently languishing in the bottom six of England's fourth tier, while Millwall's recent League One form has raised hopes of promotion into the Championship. But FA Cup ties don't always run with the form book, and Millwall made heavy work of a goal-less first half at Chester's Deva Stadium.

The Lions have already been bounced out of two competitions at the first opportunity this season, and in-demand manager Kenny Jackett made two switches midway through the second half to avoid a third embarassment. Chris Hackett and Danny Spiller replaced Jermaine Easter and Ali Fuseini in the 67th minute, and within ten minutes the favourites were ahead through playmaking midfielder Lewis Grabban.

The youngster broke down Chester's resistance with a short-range tap-in on 76 minutes, and it wasn't long before the tie was wrapped up courtesy of would-be Lions record-breaker Neil Harris.

Millwall's veteran striker slotted home Chris Hackett's cross in the 79th minute to take his goals tally for the club to 110, one behind current record holder Teddy Sheringham.

Ashley Grimes replaced Grabban in the 85th minute, and blasted home a long-range drive in stoppage time to round off the win.
