MILLWALL and Bradford will have to do it all again in a replay after a thrilling 3-3 draw at The Den. The Lions fell behind to Billy Knot's opener on just 6 minutes before Scott McDonald headed Millwall level before half time.

It was an interesting match day 3 in the Champions League for our English teams. There were wins for Arsenal and Chelsea. Man City threw away a 2 goal lead to draw 2-2 in Russia and Liverpool were taught how to play football by the World's best. The first game involving English teams was of course Man City's game in Moscow which was played behind close doors. City were two goals up after 63 minutes before CSKA came back and equalised through a controversial penalty.
