Norwich City came from behind to beat promotion-chasing Millwall at a sold-out Den.
Millwall boss Alex Neil, facing his former club, brought on striker Mihailo Ivanovic at the interval after a disappointing first half – and the Serb gave them the lead in the 56th minute.

Important games during the Championship’s promotion run-in should be played at the same time, according to Millwall boss Alex Neil.
The Lions are fourth in the table, two points behind second-placed Middlesbrough who they visit on Friday (12:30 BST) but Neil feels kicking-off before their other promotion rivals gives them an advantage.

International breaks are rarely popular with fans, especially if you’re in the race for the play-offs or (whisper it) the automatic promotion places…

Millwall Football Club and Lewisham Council have signed a lease deal for the club to remain at The Den and surrounding land for the next 999 years.
