Femi Azeez's 44th-minute strike was the difference in Bermondsey, with Mihailo Ivanovic also having a penalty saved by Jakub Stolarczyk in the second half.

This result leaves Leicester City 10th in the Championship table and without a win in three ahead of a quick-fire double at King Power Stadium against Blackburn Rovers (1 November) and Middlesbrough (4 November).

Trading blows

We had an opening early doors in south London when Jannik Vestergaard’s forward ball, skidding along the tip of the turf, was pushed on by Aaron Ramsey into the path of Jordan James. The man on loan from Rennes couldn’t work a sight at goal, but Abdul Fatawu could. Our No.7 took a touch to find some space inside the area, but a courageous block from Tristan Crama stopped it putting Max Crocombe to the test.

Millwall’s first moment, on the other hand, came on 12 minutes, Casper De Norre slipping Azeez in behind, although Stolarczyk got a strong arm to it at the expense of a corner.

Six minutes later, alarm bells were ringing again for Cifuentes’ visitors. Azeez’s low arrow was thwarted by Stolarczyk, although for a moment at least, it looked like it might drop perfectly for Ivanovic to tap in. Jannik Vestergaard and Caleb Okoli did just enough to shield the ball and get it away.

The Lions take the lead

The first half ended in frustration for the Foxes. With just 60 seconds of the 45 to play, a long ball up from De Norre had the City defence backtracking. Azeez was the target and he was able to get past Luke Thomas before slamming the ball beyond Stolarczyk.

The Millwall faithful are riding the crest of an early-season wave at the moment, their team sat third in the table, and packing out all four corners of The Den. Our afternoon in Bermondsey got worse after the break, as Ramsey was forced to depart with an injury.

Before the hour, the home side had a penalty too. After scampering past Thomas on the flank, Azeez burst into the box. Harry Winks was tracking back but his sliding challenge clipped the hosts’ No.11 and referee James Bell pointed to the spot. Eyeballing Ivanovic from 12 yards, Stolarczyk, though, got a strong arm to it, palming away at his bottom right corner in front of the Cold Blow Lane.

No comeback in the capital

Ramsey’s injury was far from ideal for Cifuentes. It was, mind you, an opportunity for Julián Carranza to join the action, later joined by Silko Thomas and Wout Faes. Playing towards the away end, housing 2,930 Foxes fans, the visitors were trying to build a route back into the contest.

Okoli’s header, over the bar from a James corner, was at least a start. Carranza’s 76th-minute over-head kick would have been an stylish equaliser, but it flew over the crossbar, and time was ticking away. Before long, Stephy Mavididi and Patson Daka were also on the pitch for Leicester, but there was no way through a stubborn defensive block. Crocombe later tipped James’ lofted cross-turned-shot over the bar and a last-ditch clearance from Crama took the Lions into the six additional minutes still in front. One last chance landed on Daka's head - from a deep James cross - but the Zambian's effort was too close to the home shot-stopper.

Alex Neil's third-placed Lions are clearly eager to stay in the league's upper reaches as we head towards winter. Leicester, meanwhile, have work to do to get back up there, with two games on Filbert Way perhaps the perfect opportunity to do so.
