Millwall Smith 75 1

SLAVEN Bilic refused to be too dishearten­ed after West Brom were held by a determined Millwall.

The Croatian saw his side take the lead thanks to an Alex Pearce owngoal, only for Matt Smith to pop up with 15 minutes left to rescue a point.

Bilic said: ‘We had a lot of the ball, but we expected that. Our passing was good, was quick at the back and in the building up. In the first half we had complete control but I wanted us to have that 20 yards further up.

‘We didn’t create a lot, but we created some good opportunit­ies. Our decision-making there wasn’t the greatest. I’m disappoint­ed with the result, but I can’t be negative about the performanc­e.’
