Millwall beat Norwich City in a frenetic afternoon that finished 2-0, though the scoreline understates the volume of activity across ninety minutes.
Norwich controlled the first half with reasonable composure. José Córdoba gave them the lead on 24 minutes, and the visitors looked settled enough to protect it. Millwall offered little in response before the break, and the game appeared to be drifting Norwich's way.
The second half changed shape almost immediately. Both Mihailo Ivanović and Mohamed Touré were introduced at the interval, and Millwall's tempo shifted noticeably. Ivanović made his presence felt early, with a second contribution following on 56 minutes. P. Mattsson added further weight to Millwall's momentum around the hour mark.
Norwich were not passive. Ben Chrisene carried a threat on 67 minutes, and Oscar Schwartau became the game's most active figure, registering actions at 68, 76, and 88 minutes. Tom Watson also registered at 80 minutes as the match entered a sustained period of pressure and counter-pressure.
The closing stages saw Millwall assert themselves decisively. Derek Mazou-Sacko contributed on 86 minutes, and Joe Bryan settled matters with efforts on 87 and 88 minutes to confirm a 2-0 home victory.
Millwall deserved the win for their second-half application. Norwich had been the better side for long stretches but could not hold what they had built.
