Steve Howard (right) scored the only goal of the game

Striker Steve Howard earned League One leaders Leicester a win at play-off hopefuls Millwall.

The Foxes took the lead in the 22nd minute when Howard hit home a low drive from 18 yards.

Howard came close to doubling the score on the stroke of half-time, but his free-kick sailed just wide.
