Millwall have reached the FA Cup semi-finals with a 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in their quarter-final replay at Ewood Park.

Kenny Jackett's side will now face Wigan Athletic at Wembley Stadium next month for a place in the final.

The visitors scored the decisive goal at the end of the first half when Danny Shittu headed in powerfully past Rovers goalkeeper Jake Kean.

Blackburn's best chance to level came just after the hour, but Shane Lowry cleared Leon Best's shot off the line.

The hosts continued to toil in the final stages as they looked for an equaliser, only to be kept out by a dogged Millwall defence.
