Millwall seal sixth successive Championship away win with triumph at Barnsley

Millwall have recorded a sixth successive away win in the Championship thanks to a 2-0 victory at Barnsley on Saturday.

The hosts fell behind on 24 minutes after giving the ball away in midfield as Lee Gregory went on to slide home the opener following a low cross from Jed Wallace.

Lions midfielder George Saville came close to adding a second just before the break but blazed over the bar from a dangerous position.

Ben Marshall managed to double Millwall's lead just after the hour with a ferocious 25-yard effort which left Barnsley goalkeeper Nick Townsend helpless.

George Moncur and Oliver McBurnie went close for the Tykes, while Gary Gardner missed a gilt-edged late chance to grab a consolation goal.

In the end Barnsley could not find a reply and fell to their ninth home defeat of the campaign.

Nuno Morais's side are now without a win on home turf in their last 11 attempts, a run stretching back to early November, and they remain fourth from bottom in the table.

For the Lions, the result was a sixth win in their last seven games which edges them up to ninth place.
