KENNY Jackett was delighted to leave Huish Park with all three points last night as Millwall overcame stiff competition from Yeovil Town.
The Lions gave their survival hopes a major shot in the arm with a hard-fought 1-0 win away from home which leaves them seven points off the drop zone.
Jackett kept the same side which produced a shock victory over promotion candidates Swansea on Friday.
The game was played in windswept conditions and after an opening half with few clearcut chances, a stalemate seemed on the cards.
However, after a stern half-time team talk and a couple of tactical changes from the Millwall boss, the Lions put in a performance worthy of all three points.

Milwall managed to break the deadlock in the 70th minute, with Bas Savage showing some clinical finishing to grab the winner.
The second win in as many games on the road is a good sign for the Lions and if they continue in similar fashion, relegation should not be an issue.
Jackett said: "It's been a good week for us so far with six points from two difficult away games.
"I am hoping we can take this into the Leyton Orient home match this Saturday.
"We started slowly and our keeper had to make three important saves early on.
"But we got to half-time at 0-0 and after that I thought we dominated."
