Millwall boss Neil Harris hopes his side have turned a corner after Steve Morison’s late winner sealed a comeback 2-1 win over Wigan at the Den.
The visitors took the lead against the run of play on the stroke of half time through a Jed Wallace own goal, but the game swung on the hour mark, when two penalties were awarded in as many minutes.
Josh Windass missed his chance for the Latics to make it 2-0 and the home side hit back, Shaun Williams converting from the spot.
From then on there was only one winner, and the hosts got the decisive goal in the final 10 minutes, as Morison rounded off an excellent move to inflict a fifth straight away defeat on Wigan and lift Millwall out of the relegation zone.
“Quite possibly that’s a turning point. Only time will tell. In this game you need luck, you need key moments, key decisions from referees,” he said.
“Big moments from players. The two penalties, they could be. We’ve been on a bad run, had horrendous luck, but we’ve now got seven points from four games, which is a huge return for this club, two home wins in a row.
“So we go from being a little bit down in the dumps at half time to now really positive again and carrying that momentum into Saturday.
“The game changed on the penalties, let’s be honest.
“First half I thought we were the better team. Then we conceded another really bizarre goal on the stroke of half-time.
“We started on the front foot second half, we had a right go. I thought here we go, a matter of time, we’d get the goal, and then we concede a penalty. The boy misses, minutes later we get one.
“From that moment, gut instinct was that we’d go and win the game.”
