Rochdale 0-1 Millwall: Lions win away again

Away-day specialists Millwall picked up their fifth successive win on the road as Lee Gregory's goal earned a 1-0 triumph at Rochdale.

The victory saw the Lions maintain their fine run of form - this was their fifth win in their last six League One games - and keep up their push for a play-off finish in Sky Bet League One.

Joe Bunney and Jamie Allen combined to set up Callum Camps after six minutes for Rochdale, but Jordan Archer smothered his attempt.

Steve Morison's attempt to pick out Ed Upson was cut out by Dale goalkeeper Josh Lillis, who got away with a spill later in the half, Gregory unable to capitalise on an unguarded goal.

There was controversy late in the half when referee Keith Hill failed to award what appeared a straightforward penalty for the home side when Ian Henderson's heels were clipped by Shaun Williams.

Millwall enjoyed a period of pressure towards the end of the first period but the half closed with Archer keeping out the best chance of the half, Henderson in space on the right of the area but unable to beat the Lions stopper with a fierce drive.

The visitors edged ahead in the 55th minute, Gregory converting from close range amid calls for offside after a scrappy game of pinball in the Rochdale penalty area.

There was a scare for Archer when he spilled Camps' cross but the goalkeeper recovered to scoop up the ball on his goal-line.

Gregory was close to a second when he collected Williams' fine pass and lobbed Lillis, his effort bouncing just wide of the upright.
