You can't beat a last-gasp winner, can you?

So Mihailo Ivanovic's 93rd-minute penalty certainly sent most of the 16,000 fans at The Den home unexpectedly happy.

Because in truth, Saturday's tussle with Stoke had been a dull game.

One that probably favoured the Potters in terms of the best chances, so there was a strong sense of Lady Luck smiling on the Lions with that late spot-kick decision by referee Andy Davies.

As for the penalty strike itself, praise is due for Millwall's young Serbian for keeping his cool and powering the ball into the top right corner.

This despite some mind games from the opponents, so well played Miha - forget your 'Panenka' merchants, that's how we like our penalties taken in South Bermondsey.

Those three points keep the Lions' season alive going into the international break.

Yes, the top six is still six points off, with plenty of clubs between us and West Bromwich Albion.

But maybe Lady Luck can be persuaded to not just to smile on Millwall, but roll around on the floor laughing her head off at the prospect of the Lions making the play-offs?
