Jay Simpson - Swansea City 1 Millwall 2
A lot has been said about Jay Simpson’s Arsenal future in the last few days, but tonight he showed that he is fully concentrated on playing for Millwall at the moment. It’s not easy playing for a club battling to avoid relegation whilst being under the watchful eye of Arséne Wenger and his scouts, but Jay is now back in form and back amongst the goals.
Tonight Millwall faced a trip to face a Swansea City side who were unbeaten for a club record 18 games going into the match. However, Millwall settled the quickest and went in front after just 28 seconds thanks to yet another goal from the in-form Lewis Grabban. Simpson was left isolated in midfield and was struggling to create chances as he was constantly being closed down.
But in the second half, his big moment came. From 16 yards out, Jay fired the ball into the back of the net to give the Lions a comfortable lead. He has been short of goals of late, so this could be the morale booster he needs to finish off the season in style.
Swansea were not out of it yet though, and with 18 minutes to go, Fabian Brandy was brought down in the area. Jason Scotland duly dispatched the spot kick but Millwall held on for a vital three points.
