Jordan Hugill made it six league goals for the season

Jordan Hugill's penalty rescued a point for Middlesbrough as Millwall again conceded late on.

The Lions looked set for only their second away win of the season when Lee Gregory robbed Adam Clayton and launched a quick break which gave Jed Wallace time to pick his spot.

Gregory also forced Boro goalkeeper Darren Randolph to save smartly, while Middlesbrough struggled to test the visitors.

But when Daniel Ayala went down in a crowded goalmouth, Hugill kept his cool from the penalty spot, the fourth successive goal Neil Harris' side had conceded in the final four minutes of matches.

Revitalised Millwall went into the game on a run of three wins in four matches, but had picked up just six points on their travels all season ahead of their trip to Teesside.

Since winning their opening four home games, Boro have struggled at the Riverside this season, with just two victories in 10 matches.

And a shortage of goals, with just 14 at home this season and 31 in total, was underlined as Johnny Howson's header was their only effort on target in a first half in which Millwall were the better side.

Tony Pulis' men improved after the break, after he sent on Rajiv van La Parra, on loan from Huddersfield, but managed just one other effort on target before Hugill's last-minute penalty.

Middlesbrough stayed fifth, and Millwall, who have lost just one of their last five league outings, moved up a place to 19th, six points clear of the bottom three.

Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis told BBC Tees:

"I'm disappointed at the first half. We started slowly and looked nervous. The players have to play with the freedom they do away from home.

"I think some of them are a little bit affected maybe by the support but supporters pay good money to watch their team and they have a right to say what they want. You have to accept that as a player or a manager.

"The players kept going second half, kept at it. That's one defeat in six games now, we just have to be more productive and more positive at home."

Millwall manager Neil Harris:

"That was the best performance we have produced this season. We controlled the game on the counter-attack and it went exactly as we planned.

"There has been a lot said about research into the opposition recently, and we do our fair share, and we knew we had to deal with Boro physically and from set-pieces and second balls.

"It was a performance with energy, character, discipline, ability on the ball, you won't see many better away performances at Middlesbrough this season."
