Millwall 2 - Southampton 3: Rickie Lambert’s treble tops
RICKIE LAMBERT hit his fourth hat-trick of the season as Southampton stayed on top of the Championship – but both he and Saints were lucky.
Millwall conceded two penalties in the last six minutes – both scored by Lambert, to bring his league total for the season to 24.
Lambert had opened the scoring on 16 minutes, only for Millwall to hit back through a Jose Fonte own goal and Paul Robinson’s volley to lead 2-1 at half-time.
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett said: “To get both penalties awarded was harsh.”
Saints boss Nigel Adkins said: “It was a great hat-trick for Ricky.”
