Harris - Return

The home crowd gave the 29-year-old a warm welcome back and the forward responded with a thrilling performance by scoring the opening goal in a comfortable 4-0 triumph.

The return of former favourite triggered a positive response from the home crowd and Millwall began the game with a genuine sense of urgency.

With the home crowd buzzing, Harris led the siege on Rotherham's goal by sweeping home the first of three first-half goals scored by Willie Donachie's rampant side.

Millwall then doubled their advantage through a smart finish from midfielder Chris Zebroski after he had poked a low shot into the bottom corner of the Rotherham net.

The wideman had firstly shrugged off the challenge of Stephen Brogan before sending his shot past the completely unprotected

Harris turned provider when his right-wing cross was expertly headed in by Darren Byfield to conclude the goal spree from in-form Millwall.

In the second half, Rotherham desperately tried to reduce the deficit but their efforts proved to be fruitless.

In an ill-tempered contest, referee Keith Hill was forced to cool down both sides on several separate occasions in order to keep the peace but it proved a tough task.

Certain to score.
The visitors' frustrations led to midfielder Justin Cochrane getting red-carded following his long running feud with opponent Alan Dunne as Millwall comfortably chalked up their fourth successive league win with Byfield adding a stunning fourth in stoppage time.

From a long way out, Byfield unleashed a phenomenal right-footed effort that rocketed into the top corner of Millwall's net.
