Millwall secured a narrow victory over Watford to continue their recent climb up the league table. Zian Flemming scored the only goal of the game in the first half, capitalising on a defensive error to slot home from close range. The result marks a fifth consecutive match without defeat for the south London side, according to Sky Sports.
Neil Harris has overseen a significant upturn in form since returning to the club, with the team moving away from the relegation zone toward the top six. The Lions restricted Watford to few clear chances, maintaining a disciplined defensive shape throughout the 90 minutes. Watford struggled to find a breakthrough despite enjoying more possession, per reports from The Guardian.
With 12 games remaining in the season, Millwall occupy 13th position but remain in contention for the post-season tournament. The club next faces Birmingham City at The Den on Tuesday evening. Watford remains in the bottom half of the table following the result.
