Henry seals victory

Millwall left it very late to complete a remarkable comeback against Colchester United and move into a play-off spot.

Having ended Leeds United's unbeaten run last weekend, Kenny Jackett's Lions side today brought U's boss Aidy Boothroyd's undefeated run to finally stamp their intentions on the league this season.

The home side went behind after Anthony Wordsworth's freekick took a massive deflection off of Millwall's Marc Laird but Alan Dunne levelled with a superb strike midway through the second-half before winger James Henry hit the winner with virtually the last kick of the game.

"I thought we were a little slow to get going," Jackett told BBC London after the game. "Colchester imposed themselves on us quite well particularly in the first half.

"We didn't play our game well enough. It wasn't a massive margin but it was enough to make the difference and, slowly, we clawed it back and put on a bit of a performance in the second half but I still feel we can do better."
