Millwall 4 - Preston 0: Darren Purse on song in Lions’ romp
Millwall 4 - Preston 0
NORTH End know it’s not over until the fat lady sings – but a slim one was in full voice before this display pushed them closer to the drop.
‘Forces Sweetheart’ Kelly Anne Sproule gave the New Den a rousing rendition of Jerusalem before a four-goal barrage kept Millwall’s play-off dream alive.
Phil Brown’s Preston would have jumped ahead of third-bottom Scunthorpe with a win but now they need a miracle, starting at home to Cardiff tomorrow.
As for Kenny Jackett’s Lions, Darren Purse headed home the first at the back post and two minutes later Josh McQuoid made it 2-0 with an unstoppable 25-yarder.
John Marquis poked home a 54th-minute third and James Henry’s penalty completed the rout.
