Kieffer Moore scores for Ipswich at MillwallKieffer Moore heads his third goal in as many games since joining on loan from Premier League side Bournemouth

Ipswich cruised past struggling Millwall to end a three-game winless run in the Championship and move within three points of the automatic promotion spots.

The Lions started brightly at The Den, but subsided after Nathan Broadhead met Omari Hutchinson's whipped cross with his back to goal and flicked a fine back-header past keeper Matija Sarkic.

Wes Harding then diverted Broadhead's centre into his own net from close range, before Kieffer Moore's downward header from Harry Clarke's super far-post cross looped over Sarkic in first-half-stoppage time.

Millwall looked to salvage some pride after the break as Ipswich eased off, but it was the visitors who struck a stoppage-time fourth when Murray Wallace brought down Ali Al-Hamadi, who rolled in the resulting penalty.
