Millwall manager Kenny Jacket has praised his side's battling spirit as they defeated Leicester City 1-0 in the Championship on Saturday.

Chris Taylor bagged the winner in the second half at The Den as the Lions moved into the playoff places.

"We had to weather the storm and we defended very well, but then we started to create chances of our own and eventually made it a dominant performance," Jackett told Sky Sports News.

"We showed some guts. We had to be at our very best against a Leicester side who have real quality across the board."

Millwall continue their Championship campaign when they travel to eighth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday.
