Millwall 3-0 Carlisle United
Jay Simpson started his final home game of the season for Millwall, as they hosted Carlisle United in another relegation “6 pointer”.
In an tight first half Jay’s impact would prove to be decisive, after playing a neat one-two with Neil Harris the 19 year old strode in of the wing, cut in side and smashed the Lions in front.
After half time the three points were all but sealed when Harris raced in to the box, and was pulled down for a penalty. Harris took it himself and slotted home on 56 minutes.
On 64 minutes defender Tony Craig adding the icing on the cake from a corner. The win all but guarantees Millwall’s place in League One for another season, mainly thanks to Jay’s 8 goals.

Norwich City 2-0 Queens Park Rangers
Kieran Gibbs started the last game of his loan spell before returning to Arsenal on Monday morning, as Norwich City hosted QPR.
The first half was full of incidents, and Rangers went down to 10 men with just five minutes gone. As Damion Stewart was sent off for a professional foul. Just two minutes later Norwich capitalised as Ched Evans volleyed a corner home.
In to the second half skipper Mark Fotheringham doubled the lead, after he scored on 56 minutes.
With time ticking down, Gibbs was withdrawn with Darren Russell coming on with 18 minutes left.
Russell would then wrap up the three points, as he slotted home after a comedy of errors from the QPR back line, which included former Gunner Matthew Connolly.
Kieran returns to training on Monday morning, and could even feature in the Reserves fixture against Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Isn’t Fran Merida playing today at night?
Yes apparently they lead 1-0 with a Mikel goal.
yeah he is. i think jay simpson should be in the squad next year..at least as asquad player for cup games. wenger shouldn’t let him go this summer.
Do you think GIbbs will be in first team squad like Wenger said he would be next season? I remember that he called him “my Ryan Giggs” or something like that. That doesn’t seem to tally with the loan experience he’s had. Was he just unlucky?
Maybe, he made 6 starts and 1 sub appearence, which isnt bad for a 3 month loan spell.
I think he has put himself in the hat, but you never know,.
hopefully gibbs gets a run out in one of the last premiership games
do you reckon wenger will keep simpson or let him go? i heard milwall were keen to sign him but i really want him to stay.
Fingers crossed for both of them.. How about Simpson, do you think he has the quality/character to make it?
burnley likely to extend randall’s loan contract. and some other news about him. link here:
