MOLUMBY TARGETS A EURO SPOT

MOYES’ FANTASTIC FOUR PLACATE PROTESTORS BOWEN: I CAN TAKE PREM HEAT

JAYSON MOLUMBY dreams of being in Mick McCarthy’s Euro 2020 plans.

He hopes his form for the Ireland boss’ old club Millwall will see him promoted to the senior set up later this month.

And the on-loan Brighton midfielder, 20, boosted his chances with a man-of-the-match display against Bristol City.

Ireland face Slovakia in a Euros play-off and Molumby said: “Playing for Millwall will help my case, but the Ireland squad is something I am aiming for.

“You have to aim high in football and it is something I want to do. But I’m not silly either and I know there are big games coming up.”

But Molumby (above, left) will need better luck in influencing McCarthy than he had with referee Andy Davies on Saturday. As the

Lions pushed for a winner, he had two big calls go against him, including a last-minute penalty claim.

The Robins opened the scoring on 10 minutes through Pedro Pereira’s low drilled shot from 16 yards.

But Millwall levelled when City defender Tomas Kalas, under pressure from Matt Smith, deflected Connor Mahoney’s 51st-minute corner into his own net.

Robins forward Andreas Weimann played with a tooth infection that left him with a badly swollen face.

His boss Lee Johnson joked: “We tried to get him to tell the referee he had been elbowed in the first five minutes. He wasn’t looking his best.” MILLWALL:

BRISTOL CITY:

JARROD BOWEN insists he can handle the pressure of playing in the top flight with West Ham.

His boss David Moyes last week tried to manage expectations by insisting the £18million “boy from Hull” should not be regarded as the Hammers’ “saviour”.

But he impressed on his first West Ham start with his first goal for the club (left) and first in the Premier

League. Bowen, 23, now with 18 goals this season, said: “I have settled in well. I was always going to be nervous. My first start, at home. The fans are expecting big things of me.

“Of course I feel those expectations. I know the goals I have scored were in a different league to the Premier League, but people still expect you to score. So to get the opener was really pleasing.”
