Tony Craig and Neil Harris struck either side of half-time to ensure Millwall came from behind to stun leaders Norwich 2-1 at the New Den. Canaries academy product Chris Martin opened the scoring for the visitors after just four minutes with a low curling free-kick from 25 yards out - his 13th league goal of the season.But parity was restored when full-back Craig's low shot from the left side of the penalty area found its way past the helpless Fraser Forster after 25 minutes, sending the home support into raptures.Norwich right-back Russell Martin almost scored a wonder goal of his own just minutes before the interval, producing a mesmerising run from his own half into the Lions penalty area before firing wide.Kenny Jackett's half-time reshuffle worked a treat, however, as substitute Harris headed home Chris Hackett's cross following a well-worked short corner to give the Lions the lead six minutes after the restart.Millwall skipper Paul Robinson headed a good chance over before Hackett then went close with a 30-yard drive, while Forster lived up to his promising reputation with an instinctive one-handed save from Liam Trotter as Millwall threatened a third.
