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.

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

Millwall started to get some momentum from that point.
