Hereford 0-2 Millwall

Second-half strikes from Tony Craig and Marc Laird kept up Millwall's promotion challenge with a victory over battling League One strugglers Hereford.

Craig headed home a cross from David Martin from close range in the 65th minute to give the Lions the lead.

Moments before the end, Laird added the second when he headed the ball past Bulls goalkeeper Craig Samson.

Earlier, Steve Guinan had headed wide and Andy Williams had struck a post for the home side.

Hereford manager Graham Turner told BBC Hereford & Worcester:

"We worked hard and had one or two chances in the first 10 minutes where, if you take those, it gives the lads confidence.

"I cannot complain about the work or, in the main, about the way the players have attempted to perform, but we've just not had the breaks.

"To be fair to Millwall, they've got some useful players and are up in the play-off positions, but sometimes you need the breaks and we didn't get them."
