MillwallLOGO142.jpgNeil Harris was Millwall's main man as his brace of goals revived the Lions League One promotion hopes.

The veteran striker scored twice in the second half to give Kenny Jackett's side victory at MK Dons to keep them on the fringes of the play off places.

It had all looked rosy for the Lions after Danny Schofield scored in the 19th minute, firing home from just outside the box.

The Dons worked hard to try and get back into the game and it took several good saves from David Forde to keep the visitors ahead.

The home side continued to press in the second half and levelled matters in the 53rd minute when Aaron Wilbraham scored from the edge of the area.

The goal had an element of luck as it seemed to take a couple of deflections before looping over the helpless Forde.

But they were level for just seven minutes, with Harris claiming his 15th goal of the season in the 61st minute when he bundled the ball home from close range.

And the fans' favourite added a second five minutes from time when he fired in from 10 yards to seal the win.

Victory leaves the Lions in 7th place, two points behind Huddersfield, but crucially six points ahead of the Dons, who are 8th.
