Scott Malone’s freakish second-half goal helped Millwall to a 2-1 win against Hull at The Den to boost their playoff hopes.

Malone made it 1-0 after 51 minutes when Richie Smallwood’s clearance rebounded off him into the net, before Tom Bradshaw doubled the lead four minutes later.

But the game was far from over as Tom Eaves scored an 86th-minute consolation to make the home fans sweat.

The result means Millwall move up to seventh while Hull remain in 17th.
