Ten-man Millwall maintained their unbeaten start to the Championship season and ended Sheffield Wednesday’s 100 per cent record in the process with a 1-0 home win.
The only goal of the contest came when an inviting Connor Mahoney corner was nodded in at the back post by Matt Smith.
Millwall’s brightest spark early on was Mahoney and his searching deliveries were a constant source of worry for the Wednesday defenders.
Harris’ acquisition from Cardiff has proved shrewd, with the diminutive winger seeing his cross sail across the face of Bartosz Bialkowski’s goal.
Long-distance specialist Reach then almost had another gem to add to his collection, but the 26-year-old’s speculative right-footed effort flew just over Bialkowski’s crossbar.
Lee Bullen’s men looked to make full use of their man advantage immediately after the break, but Steven Fletcher’s effort was gobbled up by Bialkowski.
Mahoney’s presence, though, continued to prove a problem for the South Yorkshire outfit and another teasing ball in was glanced over the bar by Smith.
It was then Aiden O’Brien’s turn to almost make it 2-0 after 57 minutes, but his thumping drive from inside the box was pushed over the top brilliantly by Keiren Westwood.
The pace of the game quickened considerably after the interval, but it was then Wednesday’s turn to go close on a couple of occasions, with their best chance coming when Bialkowski palmed away a curling shot from recent introduction Barry Bannan.
