Jackett thrilled with Lions progress

Millwall boss Kenny Jackett admitted his side were "in the mix" for promotion after the Lions came from behind to claim a surprise 2-1 win over leaders Norwich. Norwich opened the scoring through Chris Martin's low curling free-kick after just four minutes but goals from Tony Craig and Neil Harris turned the game on its head and saw Jackett's men move up to fifth in League One. Craig's low shot found its way past the helpless Fraser Forster after 25 minutes before substitute Harris headed home Chris Hackett's cross six minutes after the break. Jackett said: "I'm really pleased that such a good crowd came out and we've rewarded them with a good game and most importantly a win. "We are fifth in the league and not doing badly at all. Most importantly our season is in front of us as we are genuinely in the mix with a number of other clubs. "I don't know why we perform better against the bigger clubs in the division as we prepare in the same way for each team. "In the second half we upped it a gear and managed to negate them and get at them. It's been a really good day for us."
