At the double
Posted on: Wed 19 Mar 2008
Millwall reserves came from behind to secure a second successive Pontin's Holidays Combination victory with a 2-1 result at Aldershot.
A young Lions side, which ultimately featured three schoolboys,
went in at the break trailing 1-0 after Ryan Scott opened the scoring for the home team with Millwall reduced to 10 men.
Tom Brighton was off the field having treatment on a cut arm as The Shots took the lead, but was able to return to play his part in the second-half turnaround.
Millwall levelled on 65 minutes when Ross Gaynor scored from the spot following a handball by an Aldershot defender.
They then appeared to have added a second through Darren Ebsworth, whose cross-shot flew over the head of the home keeper only to be ruled out for obstruction by Gaynor.
However the Irishman made amends after 76 minutes when he rounded the keeper to score Millwall's second following good link up play between substitute Jay Marquis and Danny Keen
