‘We don’t run out of character’ says Lions boss after dramatic finale at Swansea

Gary Rowett was full of praise for his Millwall side’s second major fightback in four days as two own goals earned them an unlikely 2-2 draw at Swansea.

The Lions overturned a two-goal deficit against Coventry at the weekend to win 3-2 in south-east London. Swansea were cruising on Tuesday night, only for Ben Cabango and Nathan Wood to find their own net in added time to gift the Lions a draw.

Rowett admitted after the latest comeback: “It felt like the game had gone for us on 90 minutes, but we were still getting good chances.

They had 18 shots to our 16, so we still had plenty of opportunities on goal. “I was an assistant manager once when we were leading 5-2 with eight minutes to play and we ended up losing 6-5, so anything can happen. “Even though they outpassed us and outplayed us, we hit the bar twice and we should have had two penalties.
