Millwall manager reveals the key ingredient to their set-piece success against Bristol City

Millwall manager Gary Rowett says they did their homework on Bristol City's defending from set-pieces but admits their success ultimately came down to desire.

One week after the debacle at Birmingham when City conceded from three set-pieces, Millwall's threat in the box proved damaging as they maintained their impressive record scoring from dead-ball situations. Rowett's side have scored 10 goals from set-pieces this season, more than any other side in the Championship.

City on the other hand have now conceded nine, the worst record in the league with free-falling Hull second on seven according to Whoscored. It was their Achilles Heel in the second half of last season with 15 conceded with only four sides suffering more.
