| RESULT | 5 - 0 to the Lions, and it could have been more.. |
| TEAM |
Robertson, Richardson, McGuckin, McGowan Lilley, Tait, Murphy, Beauchamp Omoyinmi, Anthrobus |
| SUBS | Jarman (for McGuckin, 41)
Cook (for Omoyinmi, h/t) Mike (for Anthrobus, h/t) Fear, Glass (not used) |
| GOALS | 0 - 1 Parkin (2) - Ifill easily beat McGowan
and squared it to the unmarked Harris.
0 - 2 Harris (36) - Horrible aerial backpass from Rico, miskick from Knight, goal from Harris. 0 - 3 Harris (39) - Controlled a cross from Ifill, beat the defender, and slotted it past Knight. 0 - 4 Parkin (63) - Ifill (again) was the provider; the unmarked Parkin applied the finish. 0 - 5 Harris (68) - Oxford failed to clear Kinet's cross. Harris received it. 5-0. Easy. |
| PERFORMANCE | This wasn't really football at all. Millwall scored at will, Oxford couldn't even pass. |
| MAN OF MATCH | Nobody. Really, there was no Oxford player who merited an award. Joey was perhaps closest. |
| BOOKINGS | Paul TAIT (52) - Unsporting behaviour.
Jon RICHARDSON (86) - Violent conduct. Part of a mass brawl in fact. |
| ATTENDANCE | 8,565 - Some delirious, others not. |
| REFEREE | Mick Fletcher (Warley) - Slightly fussy, but certainly not in any way to blame for the result! |

Hapless U's hit for five
Millwall got their promotion campaign back on track with a 5-0 win over
Oxford inspired by hat-trick hero Neil Harris and on loan Sam Parkin.
Sam Parkin was given a start after joining the Lions on loan from Chelsea
and he responded with a brace, but was outshone by Neil Harris.
Parkin gave the Lions the lead in the opening two minutes when he exchanged
passes with Harris before slamming the ball home.
Millwall doubled their lead four minutes before the break after a bizarre
mistake from Oxford 'keeper Richard Knight who dropped the ball at
the feet
of Neil Harris and the Lions striker stabbed the ball home to give
managerless Millwall a 2-0 half-time lead.
Harris then grabbed his sixth of the campiagn when he shot home from
Matt
Lawrence's pass and the hapless Oxford reargurad were again at fault
when
Sam Parkin burst clear to fire the ball home.
The scoring was completed five minutes later when Neil Harris secured
the
match ball by emphatically thumping the ball home to send the Lions
fans
home a happy bunch.
