Millwall boss Alex Neil spoke to BBC Radio London after his side is beaten 2-0 at Leeds United.

"The nature of the first goal for us is really frustrating because it is unfortunate. From there, to be fair to the lads, I thought they brushed it off," he said.

"First half, I thought we were pretty good, we moved the ball well and got into good areas, but didn't create as many opportunities as I would have hoped.

"Second half, they started bright and, at that stage, they had a dominant spell and we tried to stay in the game. We had a couple of little moments without really getting anywhere and obviously the second goal takes it away from us.

"We didn't deserve to take anything away from the game. Leeds were the better side. But I know a lot of teams have come here and conceded early and roll over, and it becomes a real tough evening, but our lads made it difficult with how hard they worked."
