Full Time: Millwall 1-2 Swansea City

Oliver McBurnie helped complete a dramatic late turnaround as 10-man Swansea City came back from a goal down to beat Millwall at the Den on Saturday.

Substitute Kyle Naughton grabbed the equaliser before McBurnie scored the winner in the 85th minute.

Swansea City Player Ratings

Erwin Mulder – 6/10

Barring the goal he conceded, Mulder had very little to do at the Den.

Connor Roberts – 6/10

A solid performance if not spectacular from Roberts, who showed great energy and will to compete throughout the game.

Mike van der Hoorn

Mike van der Hoorn – 7/10

Swansea’s defensive lynchpin, Van der Hoorn dished out another solid display at the back. He passed the ball well and stayed alert.

Joe Rodon – 7/10

Rodon was assured in possession and had a really bright game, barring a couple of nervy moments.

Martin Olsson – 7/10

Offered excellent attacking outlet down the left and looked very composed defensively. He showed great energy as he bombed up and down throughout the game.

Daniel James – 7/10

James was a solid presence in the middle of the park as he offered great vision and kept Swansea ticking with his passing.

Leroy Fer – 5/10

Fer added a lot of feistiness to Swansea’s midfield for the short time he was on the pitch. Unlucky to go off injured before the break.

Matt Grimes – 6/10

Grimes showed some really good touches. He looked very composed on the ball.

Bersant Celina – 7/10

Swansea’s creator in chief, Celina linked up play really well and added creativity in the final third.

Courtney Baker-Richardson – 1/10

A debut to forget for Baker-Richardson, who put his team under severe pressure. He had the chance to impress Graham Potter but let himself down.

Oli McBurnie – 8/10

Worked tirelessly throughout the game and was rewarded for it. Popped up with an 85th-minute winner and once again showed why he is a real asset to the Swans going forward. McBurnie is looking every inch of a proven Championship striker. A performance worthy of a shout!

Substitutes

Kyle Naughton – 8/10

Naughton replaced the injured Fer in the 35th minute and calmed things down. Scored the equaliser in what will go down as an important goal in his career.

Jefferson Montero – 8/10

Replaced Olsson and immediately changed the game with his explosive pace and trickery. A dazzling display.
