Highlights of Millwall 3-2 Plymouth

Aiden O'Brien capped off a dramatic turnaround as Millwall came from behind to beat Plymouth 3-2 in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Jamie Ness' header was cancelled out by a Shaun Williams penalty, before Freddie Ladapo's fine goal restored Argyle's advantage.

Lee Gregory equalised seven minutes from time before fellow substitute O'Brien nudged home to send Millwall through.

The visitors started the brighter as a neat exchange with Antoni Sarcevic allowed Ness through on goal, but he was smothered by goalkeeper Ben Amos.
