MILLWALL were beaten 2-1 by Nottingham Forest in their first preseason friendly in Spain on Tuesday evening.
Forest went in front seventeen minutes in when former Lions striker Chris Wood’s shot deflected in off Joe Bryan.
Millwall didn’t test Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner in the first half as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side mostly controlled possession.
Forest made 10 changes at half-time but it was a first-half substitute, Callum Hudson-Odoi, who doubled their lead in the 53rd minute. Ryan Yates found Hudson-Odoi in space on the edge of the box and he beat Jensen with a low finish into the bottom-right corner.
Millwall pulled a goal back in the 76th minute when substitute Aidomo Emakhu finished under goalkeeper Matz Sels four minutes after coming on.
And Murray Wallace almost levelled late on but was denied by Sels’ fingertip save.
The temperatures were touching 40 degrees on Sunday when Millwall arrived at their base in Alicante. There wasn’t much time to get used the plush surroundings in the hotel. Soon after the squad were off the coach they were up on their bikes. A gyn workout followed before a session on the grass.
