Nottingham Forest grab three valuable points by beating Millwall 3-1 at the City Ground.

Struggling Nottingham Forest ran out 3-1 winners over Millwall at the City Ground this afternoon.

Forest opened the scoring after 25 minutes when Garath McCleary nodded in Andy Reid's cross from close range.

The hosts doubled this lead a little over 10 minutes later courtesy of Danny Higginbotham's low strike from the edge of the Millwall box.

The visitors grabbed a goal back 20 minutes into the second half when Darius Henderson slotted the ball past goalkeeper Lee Camp to give the Lions a glimmer of hope.

Their hope was all but extinguished when Reid restored Forest's two-goal lead, however, his left-footed strike with 10 minutes left sealing all three points for the home side.

The result lifts Forest up to 20th in the Championship table, just two points behind today's opponents.
