RAMPANT Cherries recorded their seventh consecutive Championship victory in style with a 4-1 win at Millwall. Cherries were a joy to watch during the first half at The Den, going three goals up thanks to strikes from Philip Billing, Arnaut Danjuma and David Brooks. Jed Wallace pulled one back for the hosts soon after the restart, but Dominic Solanke quashed any hopes of an unlikely fightback. The win lifts Cherries up to third in the Championship table, eight points behind Watford with three games to play. Jonathan Woodgate made just one change following Saturday’s impressive victory at promoted Norwich City with full-back Jack Stacey replacing Adam Smith, who dropped to the bench. It was Stacey’s first start in more than a month.

CONOR HOURIHANE SET up the opener and Jamal Lowe scored twice as promotion-chasing Swansea returned to form with an impressive 3-0 victory at Millwall.
It was a much-needed three points at The Den for the Swans, who had lost their previous four matches without scoring to leave their Championship automatic promotion hopes in tatters.
But their confidence returned once Andre Ayew had scored their first goal in 500 minutes of football just before the break, as Steve Cooper’s side consolidated their place in the play-offs, while all-but ending Millwall’s slim top-six ambitions.
