The on-loan Wolves man, who otherwise endured a quiet afternoon, picked the perfect moment to grab his first goal of the season and banish back-to-back defeats for the npower Championship promotion hopefuls.
City were anything but impressive, though, and the result was harsh on a Millwall side who had Liam Trotter sent off for a bad foul on Darcy Blake, and quickly had David Forde to thank for producing a superb save to keep out Peter Whittingham`s penalty.
Lions defender Scott Barron had handed the visitors an early lead with a rare strike only to see Jay Bothroyd level matters with his fifth goal of the season midway through an eventful first half.
