Neil reacts to Millwall win over Stoke

Millwall boss Alex Neil believed his side were worthy winners after Mihailo Ivanovic's injury-time penalty gave them a 1-0 win over Stoke.

"Whether it's a penalty or not, we've all been victims of decisions across the season, but I thought it was no more than we deserved for our second-half performance," he said.

"At this level, a lot of games are defined by key moments – whether you take that chance, whether it was a penalty, whether you can execute that pass, get that strike away.

"It was a really pleasing win [because] you're playing against a team that's fighting for their life at this stage of the season.

"They got a really good win during the week, they've got a really strong squad – half of that squad I put together, so there's some really good players in there, but for us that was an excellent win.

"Today I put the two forwards in, forcing us a little bit to go a bit more direct in the game.

"I didn't think it worked particularly well first half, but I thought second half I thought we were excellent at it."
