Charlton Athletic 0-1 Millwall: Cooper wakes Lions from slumber

Jake Cooper scored a second-half winner as Millwall defeated Charlton Athletic 1-0 in a turgid Championship affair at the Valley on Friday.

Centre-back Cooper fired home the rebound in the 81st minute after home goalkeeper Dillon Phillips parried Connor Mahoney's effort.

It proved the difference between the teams in a game of few chances. Macauley Bonne was denied by Millwall goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski, while Phillips had brilliantly saved from Jed Wallace's close-range strike shortly before the break.

Millwall climb to eighth courtesy of their first win since the league restarted after the coronavirus suspension, while Charlton are 18th but only three points above the relegation zone.

We'll leave this here... It doesn't change!#Millwall
