Alex Neil hailed an exceptional performance from goalkeeper Steven Benda which secured three points despite a second-half onslaught from Sheffield United.

Millwall posted their second win in three as they beat the Blades 1-0 and they had the 28-year-old German to thank for a sterling display between the sticks.

"There were two terrific ones [saves] that I can really remember one from Louie Barry to his right hand side and the other from Gus Hamer where he plucks it out of the top corner.

"And there was another from a header but they'd already given a foul at that point.

"I said to him after the Norwich game where obviously he makes a bit of an error that there are going to be games where we are going to need you and that will be your moment and hopefully you will produce for us.

"He certainly produced for us today and I'm delighted for him."
