Overview
- Millwall won 3-1 at the MKM Stadium as Mihailo Ivanovic capitalised on goalkeeper Ivor Pandur's spill before Josh Coburn struck late, after Jake Cooper's opener and Joe Gelhardt's first-half equaliser.
- Hull dominated the first half, hit the crossbar twice, saw a Kyle Joseph header ruled out, and had Oli McBurnie penalty appeals rejected, prompting post-match criticism of referee David Webb.
- The defeat came with Hull managing a severe availability crunch, with reports of up to ten absentees or doubts, including Akin Famewo sidelined for around four to five weeks and Matt Crooks beginning a two-match suspension.
- There were limited boosts as Lewie Coyle started despite an ankle issue and Amir Hadziahmetovic, Toby Collyer and Eliot Matazo returned to the matchday squad.
- The result moved Millwall five points clear of Hull in the play-off positions as the Tigers turn attention to a midweek trip to Wrexham with selection concerns and momentum at issue.
