Millwall manager Alex Neil told BBC Radio London:
"The result was the most important thing. But the manner in which we did it was even more important to me. It wasn't a smash-and-grab, and it wasn't a case of us not deserving it. We thoroughly deserved it when you think of the chances in the game.
"We missed a penalty and could have scored a second goal with a great opportunity at the back post, and when we needed to be big and strong, and win our duels, we did that.
"Everyone knows we're light [on players] at the moment so to out in the performance we did, having missed a penalty and conceded a 97th-minute equaliser in the last game, that's a lot of things going against you and it shows the lads' hunger and determination to succeed.
[On injuries] "We don't know how Lukas (Jensen) is going to be. Calum's (Scanlon) is a bad one at the moment - I think it's a hamstring so we'll get that scanned."
