Leeds maintain pursuit of top two with victory against Swans
Superb first-half goals from Conor Chaplin, Massimo Luongo and Nathan Broadhead saw Town to a comfortable 3-1 victory over Millwall at Portman Road and to within a point of Championship leaders Leicester City. Chaplin got the Blues up and running in the fifth minute, Luongo added the second on 12 and Broadhead the third six minutes before the break with Town well worth their half-time lead. In the second period, the Blues continued to dominate without adding to their lead, while the Lions pulled back a consolation against the run of play in the 78th minute through sub Kevin Nisbet.
Town boss Kieran McKenna hailed a good night’s work from his players after their 3-1 home defeat of Millwall, although felt it wasn’t quite a perfect display.
Millwall head coach Joe Edwards admitted his team were beaten by a very good Town side but was disappointed by the manner in which the Lions lost the game 3-1 at Portman Road.
Town midfielder Massimo Luongo highlighted the importance of the first goal as the Blues returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Millwall at Portman Road.
