Millwall stormed to victory in Saturday's south London derby with Kenny Jackett praising it as one of the best results of his career.

A first-half goal from a corner by Darren Ward, followed by a Christian Dailly own goal and a brace by Steve Morison helped the Lions to a 4-0 win and put them just a point behind Charlton.

A jubilant Jackett said after the match: "It was a great day for us. I'm very proud as a manager to see that attendance at The Den and it created a great atmosphere for the players to play and that helped us.

"It is probably one of the best results of my career. We produced a lot of quality in the second half and our goals were excellent.

"It's been a settled side. I wouldn't say there was any particular reason for this great run, but long may it continue."

It was Charlton's first visit to The Den for 15 seasons but many fans were already making their way to the exits midway through the second half.

Boss Phil Parkinson was downcast following the defeat.

He said: "This was our worst display of the season. You can't be in a big derby like today and make as many individual mistakes as we did and expect to get anything from the game.

"All the goals stemmed from basic errors. All week we spoke about coming here and, first and foremost, doing the basics.

"Up to the corner we'd done that, but in the second half too many individual mistakes cost us.

"I thought in the first half we had opportunities to make things happen and just the final ball let us down."
