Millwall kept up the pressure on the League One's leading two teams with a comfortable victory over Walsall.

The home side took the lead on 18 minutes when Jason Price fired past Rene Gilmartin from close range.

Jabo Ibehre's low shot from 15 yards had Walsall back on level terms but Gary Alexander put the Lions in front again on the stroke of half-time.

Alexander grabbed his second after the break before Walsall's Emmanuele Smith went off with an injury.
