Neil 'disappointed' by side's set-piece defeat

Alex Neil has been in charge at The Den since the end of December

Millwall head coach Alex Neil says he was disappointed to lose at Sunderland to a set-piece goal.

The Lions were undone by a short corner routine from the Black Cats that ended with Trai Hume volleying in the winner.

Defeat saw the south London side drop to 13th and six points away from an outside run at a play-off spot.

"It was a hard-fought game, I didn't think there was a lot in the game," Neil told BBC Radio London.

"The disappointing thing from our point of view is when you come to Sunderland, the last thing you should do is lose the game on a set-play.

"We're a big strong side and we didn't deal with it well enough, which cost us the match."
