Millwall strike back to hold Lincoln

Report and free match highlights from the Sky Bet Championship match between Millwall and Lincoln City at The Den on Saturday; Kyrell Lisbie and Jake Cooper net as the Lions battle back for a point. Deji Elerewe sent off late for Imps.

Jake Cooper's scrambled equaliser rescued a point for Millwall as they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Lincoln in the Championship.

The Imps looked on course to put Wednesday's 6-0 home thrashing against West Ham behind them in style when goals from Andrei Coubis and Rob Street put them in a strong position after 33 minutes at The Den.

But the Lions were able to prevent back-to-back home defeats with a much-improved second-half performance, with the visitors hanging on for a share of the spoils after having Deji Elerewe sent off soon after Cooper's leveller.

Lincoln had the perfect pick-me-up after their midweek hiding as they scored after just 25 seconds when the ball was cleared as far as Coubis and the Romanian defender fizzed a low strike from outside the box that went in off the far post.

Stunned by the early opener in what was the first meeting between the two clubs since 1999, Millwall pressed for a quick response as Kyrell Lisbie slashed a shot wide from Lyndon Dykes' long throw.

The Imps then doubled their lead in the 33rd minute when Street's shot went through the legs of Millwall goalkeeper Filip Marschall.

There was some controversy around the goal, though, as what looked a clear handball by Reeco Hackett in the build-up was missed by the assistant stood close by.

Somehow, Lincoln failed to add to their tally five minutes into the second half when Freddie Draper's header from Adam Reach's cross hit the post before Dom Jefferies struck the same upright with his follow-up.

Millwall finally began to rally after the hour mark, with Dykes nodding Zak Sturge's ball into the box across for Luke Cundle whose header was clawed away by George Wickens.

And they were back in the game after 63 minutes when Camiel Neghli's low cross found its way to Lisbie who saw his initial effort blocked before he quickly sorted out his feet to slide in his first goal for the Lions.
