PARKER: TWIST OF FATE COST USI sky

SCOTT PARKER blamed an injury to an official for the end of Burnley's nine-match unbeaten run - and Millwall manager Neil Harris agreed.

The Clarets were well on top at the Den until a seven-minute stoppage in the first half caused by assistant referee Matthew Smith turning his ankle.

Afterwards, Millwall were the better side and rallied to win for the third game in a row with a Jake Cooper header.

Parker (circle), whose side missed a chance to go second, said: "There was a long pause in the game and that may have been a factor.

"It's a young team, they may not have seen that before.

Millwall started to get some momentum from that point.
