Lampard was overjoyed with his side's performance and the away support the Coventry City faithful offered at the Den.

After the game, Lampard said: "I was overwhelmed with the supporters there, the away fans to travel in such numbers. I know that’s the norm but this is new for me. But listen, it’s one win and it’s a small step for us. But you have got to enjoy it when you win and try to build on it."
DID YOU KNOW?
After their 1-0 win on Saturday, Lampard's side have broken a 116-year record. Millwall will be gutted that, for the first time ever, they have suffered four-straight defeats to Coventry and squandered a chance to move within touching distance of Blackburn, currently occupying the final play-off spot.
