Langstaff's 'excellent' form pleases boss Neil

Millwall boss Alex Neil was delighted to see Macaulay Langstaff continue his pre-season form into the start of the new Championship campaign as the striker's late goal earned them a 2-1 win at Norwich.

Langstaff was a prolific scorer for previous club Notts County, but only found the net once in 36 appearances for the Lions last term.

He replaced Josh Coburn in the 80th minute at Carrow Road with the score 1-1 and only need three minutes to slot home Alfie Doughty's ball.

"Macca has been excellent for us in pre-season. He scored a very similar goal the other day. It was a great finish by him and I'm really pleased," said Neil.

"It was a great way to start the season for us. There has been a lot of talk this week externally about our record here, I think we hadn't won since 1968, which is a hell of a long time.

"So it's really nice to get that off our back and it's really nice to get the win. I thought we deserved the win and I thought in the second half we were much improved."

Millwall are away to Newport County in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.
