And they got the perfect start, with barely a minute on the clock Lewis Grabban slotted him his third goal in as many matches in a tight encounter.

But little being created, the Swans introduced the fore-mentioned Brady for Kevin O’Leary, but the visitors would double there advantage, and i would Arsenal’s loanee who would get it, firing home with 20 minutes left.

But Swansea would get right back into it, a foul in the box allowed Trinidad & Tobago striker Jason Scotland the chance to half the lead, he stepped up and converted, 2-1 with 15 minutes left.

Jay was then booked for kicking the ball away as nervous Millwall held on for all three points.
