“Taïryk Arconte breaks the deadlock after sustained Millwall pressure, converting to make it 1-0 following Neghli's saved effort minutes earlier.”
Pivotal“Arconte doubles Millwall's lead with his second goal of the match, all but ending Norwich's hopes of a response and completing a dominant second-half opening salvo.”
Pivotal“Substitute Luke Cundle finishes smartly to complete the rout, assisted by Camiel Neghli, who had threatened throughout the afternoon and finally got his name on the scoresheet.”

Outstanding performance
Millwall•AttackerMillwall were dominant from the first whistle, controlling territory and generating twice as many dangerous attacks as their visitors to put on a commanding home display. Taïryk Arconte was the chief tormentor, opening the scoring in the 18th minute after a spell of sustained pressure that saw Camiel Neghli's earlier effort saved, and doubling the lead on 58 minutes to effectively end the contest. Norwich had already been reduced in tactical options by a yellow-card-laden afternoon — Harry Darling and Jenson Metcalfe both picking up bookings — but it was José Córdoba's second yellow on 64 minutes, just six minutes after Millwall's second goal, that extinguished any residual hope of a comeback. With a man advantage and the match wrapped up, Millwall's bench contributions continued to impress: substitute Luke Cundle, on for just six minutes, converted an 84th-minute finish assisted by Neghli to complete the rout. The result leaves Millwall firmly in the Championship's upper reaches, while Norwich — sitting in a mid-table zone — face growing questions about their ability to compete with the division's stronger sides.
