Millwall boss Kenny Jackett picked out Lewis Grabban for special praise as the Lions maintained their solid start to the campaign with a 2-0 win against Hartlepool United.

Grabban was on the scoresheet alongside Gary Alexander as Jackett's side moved up to seventh place in League One.

"Lewis is shaping up well," said Jackett. "He's very quick, has got a good touch and was very good today. He's only 20 so he's a young lad but we're pleased with his progress.

"Today was a very good win and a deserved one. It's good to get back-to-back league wins and eight points from five league matches is something to build on.

"People say that if you can average two points a game it's promotion form. I wouldn't say that's a target I set myself particularly but it's not far wrong. Things are starting to look good."
