The home side's night got off to a terrible start as Wes Morgan was shown a straight red card with only three minutes played for bringing down Andy Keogh.

However, Leicester nearly took the lead on 12 minutes when Chris Wood's header was scrambled off the line by the Millwall defence.

A frantic opening half then saw Kaspar Schmeichel tip away Jermaine Easter's effort, while Wood shot narrowly wide at the other end moments later.

Millwall were celebrating on 30 minutes as Rob Hulse tapped in at the back post, but the striker was correctly flagged for offside following Easter's flick.

Both teams continued to surge forward in search of the opening goal, but neither was able to make the breakthrough.
