MK Dons 0 Millwall 1

The midfielder nodded in James Henry's free kick against the run of play to send Millwall level on points with the promotion-chasing Dons.

Despite spending much of the game desperately defending their lead, there was to be no repeat of the drubbing at the Den, in which MK Dons bagged four goals and left Millwall scoreless.

Jason Puncheon and David Lewington kept the Lions defenders on their toes all night, and flashed shots just wide of the goal on more than one occasion.

Millwall will make the trip to Hartlepool for their next League One match on Saturday. They sit five points behind second placed Peterborough with a game in hand, but will be looking out for the results of fellow playoff hopefuls Leeds United and Scunthorpe.

Leeds were not in action on Tuesday night, but Scunthorpe romped to a 3-0 victory over Hereford.
