Bristol City vs Millwall

Millwall came to Ashton Gate and completely dominated proceedings, controlling the match from start to finish. Bristol City never got going, managing just one shot on target across the entire ninety minutes as the visitors kept them at arm's length. The Lions went ahead before the break and added a second after the interval to seal a 0-2 victory that could have been even more comfortable. Josh Coburn was the standout performer, orchestrating Millwall's control with ease and rightly earning Man of the Match honours for his display. It was a chastening afternoon for the home side, who saw very little of the ball and created precious little in attack. Millwall's superiority in possession told the story of a one-sided affair, and there's no getting away from the fact that City will need to sharpen up considerably if they're to climb back up the table. This was a performance that raises some serious questions, and the pressure is on to respond quickly when they're back on home soil.

Millwall beat Bristol City 0-2 at Ashton Gate Stadium, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out.

The shot count told a similar story, with 8 attempts from Bristol City against 24 from Millwall over the course of the game. Bristol City had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day.
