MILLWALL more than earned their point last night as they cancelled out Dominic Solanke’s strike with a smash-and-grab second-half goal.

But manager Gary Rowett was left rueing not taking all three, as his counterpart Scott Parker admitted that Bournemouth were “holding on for large parts of the second half.”

In his programme notes, Rowett said his side “have continued a bit of a trend of saving our best periods and moments in games for second halves.”

“ Bournemouth play with quite a high line, and we just felt our opportunities to try and exploit that ”
