Yeovil grab late draw at Millwall

Millwall failed to win at the New Den for just the fourth time this season after Yeovil's Luke Rodgers cancelled out Paul Robinson's early strike in a 1-1 draw. The Lions looked to be on their way to their ninth home win of the season when skipper Robinson rose highest to head home the third successive David Martin corner in the sixth minute. The visitors refused to lie down and thought they had equalised in the 30th minute but on-loan Rodgers' back-post effort from Gavin Tomlin's cross-shot was ruled offside. But Rodgers, who is expected to join permanently from Port Vale in the new year, wasn't to be denied and he converted Lee Peltier's cross in the 37th minute for his second goal in as many games. Millwall's Adam Bolder and Tomlin for Yeovil hit the bar as both teams pressed in the second half but neither could grab the decisive winner.
