Millwall's 1-0 win at Sheffield United moved the Lions within three points of the play-off places.

Josh Coburn's 21st-minute strike secured a fourth win in six games for Alex Neil's side.

The Lions have now beaten each of the Championship's top three teams this season and head coach Neil believes his side were good value for their victory.

"I thought we deserved it. I think if you look at the clearest chances in the game they fell to us," Neil told BBC Radio London.

"You do know that coming here you are going to have to take bits of pressure and see those bits out. You're going to have to rely on your keeper sometimes and defend well, but that's why Sheffield United have won more games than anyone else in this division so far.

"So we knew it was going to be a tough game, but we came with a game plan and I thought the lads executed it brilliantly.

"I thought we created some really good chances in the game for ourselves. We probably should have scored maybe two in the second half, even three, when you saw how clear cut they were.

"Unfortunately we couldn't put it to bed, which meant we had to put our bodies right to the last second.

"Great performance from us. [I'm] really delighted with how the players are doing at the moment, their application, not even just the starting XI but every single one that comes on the pitch."
