Brentford 2 Millwall 2

James Henry was once again the hero with a dramatic late leveller from a free-kick.
After Myles Weston and Kevin O'Connor had gone close for the home side, The Bees took the lead on nine minutes when John Bostock drilled low past David Forde from 12 yards.
Five minutes later Danny Schofield almost levelled when he crashed a shot against the bar following a run from inside his own half.
The equaliser duly arrived from a corner, though, as Paul Robinson dived to head home Chris Hackett's flag kick.
But a wind assisted corner at the other end gifted Brentford the lead again on 25 minutes, as Bostock's kick was carried in by the breeze at David Forde's near post.
Hackett, Schofield and Price all went close before the break as The Lions looked to get back on terms, but The Bees were always a threat with the pace of Myles Weston on the left and the trickery of Bostock on the right.
The second half was a frenetic affair with Millwall pushing forward in increasing desperation searching for a second goal.
After Neil Harris had just failed to get the vital touch to a long ball from Forde, there was a let-off for The Lions as Kevin O' Connor smacked a low drive against a post and the ball was eventually scrambed clear.
On 63 minutes, James Henry and Darren Ward replaced Chris Hackett and Jackett Smith, and two minutes later Harris had the ball in the net with a left foot volley but was flagged offside.
Increasingly, though, the Millwall pressure was mounting. Jimmy Abdou had keeper Lewis Price back pedalling to tip over a 20 yard lob. Henry saw one of several corners swirl across the face of goal with no-one applying the vital touch and Morison's goal bound effort was blocked for a corner by a last-ditch challenge.
Marc Laird's headerfollowing another corner was blocked in front of goal by one of his own players and Harris then had his effort from the rebound hooked off the line.
But once again it was left to sub James Henry to produce the goods, hitting home a terrific free-kick over the head of Price from 35 yards to claim a point after Karleigh Osborne's even later strike for The Bees crashed back off the bar.
