Gillingham 1-3 Burton: Visitors come from behind to extend Gills' winless run
Saturday 15 January 2022 18:41, UK
Gillingham slipped to 11 league games without a victory as Steve Lovell’s second spell in charge of the Kent side began with a 3-1 defeat against Burton.
Lovell was appointed interim manager on Monday following the departure of Steve Evans, the man who replaced him at Priestfield in 2019.
He saw his side take the lead three minutes in when Robbie McKenzie fired home from close range after Burton goalkeeper Ben Garratt parried Kyle Dempsey's stinging volley.
The Gills, who had not scored a home league goal since 19 October prior to kick-off, almost doubled their advantage as Ben Reeves dragged a low effort narrowly wide.
But Burton levelled five minutes into the second half thanks to Tom Hamer's looping header from Cameron Borthwick-Jackson's pinpoint delivery.
