Neil Harris had not seen his Millwall side win away since April before victory at Ipswich

Millwall claimed their first away win of the season as they came from behind against bottom-placed Ipswich with three second-half goals.

Teenager Jack Lankester fired Ipswich ahead inside two minutes with a low effort across goal from the edge of the area, but they spurned a number of chances to extend their lead before the break.

Millwall equalised from the spot on the hour after Luke Chambers fouled Tom Elliott and Shane Ferguson converted.

Jake Cooper then headed them in front eight minutes later from close range as the ball was nodded back across goal by Elliott, who then profited from a series of defensive mishaps to tuck home a third.

Substitute Kayden Jackson did pull a goal back for Ipswich in the closing moments with a thundering strike off the inside of the post but it was too late for an equaliser.

Ipswich begin 2019 10 points away from safety and five adrift at the bottom after a third defeat in a row.

Millwall, on the other hand, are now six points clear of the relegation zone after winning three successive games for the first time this season.

Neil Harris' side were second best for most of the first half, but capitalised on a nervy Ipswich defence in the second half once Steve Morison came off the bench to add more of an attacking threat.

Their three goals came within 16 minutes and condemned Ipswich to a 15th defeat of the season.

Ipswich boss Paul Lambert:

"We should have been three up at half-time, we were excellent in the first half. We dominated the game and the ball, and we had some unbelievable chances.

"Nobody could have begrudged us if we'd gone in at 3-0 - I thought we were that far ahead. The football we played was great but we have to take our chances.

"I knew what we'd have to deal with when Steve Morison came on - long balls and headers - but we never dealt with the physicality side of it."

(On his own yellow card) "The pitch is so close to the technical area and I didn't know I was on it. I don't understand that one. I think I must have been a centimetre on to the pitch.

"I never said anything derogatory or used any bad language. We'll be sending in our own report about that."

Millwall manager Neil Harris:

"It was a horrendous first half from us and I've got to be honest, it wasn't acceptable.

"I don't think I've ever made a sub in the first half, unless it's forced on me by an injury or a red card, but that was the closest I've come to doing it.

"I had a few choice words at half-time for the group and I questioned how much they wanted it, and they responded second half.

"The goals weren't that great but we scored more than Ipswich and that's all that matters."
