Millwall 3 - 1 Rochdale: Millwall end wait for home league victory
Posted Sunday, September 27, 2015 by PA
Shaun Williams and Steve Morison scored either side of half-time as Millwall picked up a first home Sky Bet League One success of the season with a 3-1 victory over Rochdale.
The Lions made a fine start when an unmarked Jimmy Abdou fired home from Aiden O'Brien's fourth-minute delivery.
O'Brien almost created another goal 20 minutes later but this time a Rochdale defender was able to make a crucial block on Williams' shot.
Rochdale came close when Matthew Lund's well-struck drive forced Jordan Archer to tip it behind, although they drew level two minutes before the break through Peter Vincenti's close-range header.
Millwall were quickly back in front on the stroke of half-time as Williams drilled in from six yards.
Ian Henderson, Vincenti and Andy Cannon could all have put Rochdale back on equal terms early in the second period.
But they paid the price on the hour when O'Brien put Morison through on goal and the striker cleverly lifted the ball over the advancing Josh Lillis.
