Jos Hooiveld 's late strike earned Millwall a crucial 2-1 victory over south London rivals Charlton on Good Friday - the Lions ' first win at The Den since October . Hooiveld prodded home Magaye Gueye 's low drive in the 87th minute , after Gueye had cancelled out Alou Diarra 's strike for the Addicks . Charlton had skipper Chris Solly dismissed midway through the first half for deliberate handball in the box , but Stephen Henderson saved Lee Gregory 's resulting penalty .

The result moved Millwall up to 22nd in the Sky Bet Championship table , just four points behind Rotherham , while Charlton remained 11th and without a win over the Lions since 1996 . Millwall boss Neil Harris named an unchanged line-up from the 2-2 draw at Brentford last time out and his side had the best of the early exchanges . The hosts almost went ahead on four minutes , but Ed Upson 's brilliant ball over the top narrowly evaded the outstretched leg of Gregory . Solly found his name in the book after just 10 minutes after a coming-together with Gregory , as the visitors struggled to get a foothold in the game . Upson should have put the home side ahead on 18 minutes , but the unmarked midfielder headed just over from Dan Harding 's dangerous cross from the left . But the Addicks almost took the lead against the run of play when Chris Eagles prodded narrowly wide from close range after Johann Berg Gudmundsson 's chipped ball forward .

The game changed just short of the half-hour mark when Solly was given his marching orders for deliberately handling Aiden O'Brien 's effort in the box , gifting Millwall a penalty . Gregory stepped up , but the striker 's effort was well saved by Henderson low to his right to keep the scores level . Charlton switched to a 4-3-2 formation , with Andre Bikey replacing Eagles , but Millwall continued to dominate and Henderson produced another spectacular save to deny Upson five minutes before half-time . The Lions dominated the possession after the break , but the Addicks arguably looked more comfortable after going down to 10 men . And Guy Luzon 's side almost took the lead on 52 minutes after a swift counter-attack , but Gudmundsson 's left-footed shot curled just wide of the top corner .

Millwall fans grew increasingly frustrated as the Lions struggled to break through Charlton 's dogged defence , but Shaun Williams had Henderson at full stretch again on the hour mark after a drive from distance . But the Addicks took the lead on 67 minutes , when Diarra ghosted into the box to flick home Morgan Fox 's cross from the left - the former West Ham midfielder 's first goal for the club . Millwall hit back and substitute Gueye levelled 11 minutes from time with a low drive from a tight angle . And Hooiveld stole all three points for the hosts three minutes from the end when he turned home Gueye 's shot .
