Millwall came out on top in the first game since manager Neil Harris departed last Thursday, by beating Leeds United 2-1 at The Den on Saturday afternoon in an eventful game.

Wallace featured heavily in the Championship win over one of the fancied teams to be up there come the end of the season, and Wallace struck home the first goal of the afternoon, firing a penalty into the top corner after striker Tom Bradshaw was fouled inside the box by Gaetano Berardi, who was shown a straight red card by the referee.

Wallace played a vital role while coming off the right side of midfield, getting the ball in small pockets and finding passes out to the overlapping right-back Mahlon Romeo as Millwall looked confident with the ball at their feet.

Wallace had 56 touches of the ball in the game, more than any other Millwall player, and played 32 passes as he attempted to get his side further up the pitch.

A main part of Wallace's game is his ability to float around the pitch and get crosses into the area, of which he done so on Saturday, putting five crosses into the area for the likes of Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Tom Bradshaw to attack.

While defending as well, Wallace doesn't give up on his defensive duties either, and helps out his full-back by dispossessing a Leeds player two times on Saturday.

Wallace is central to the way that Millwall play as a big, physical side like the Lions rely on inch-perfect crosses from the wide areas to attack and convert into the back of the net. Despite Millwall not being as high up in the league as some of their fans would like them to be, Wallace has had a strong start to the campaign and he made one key pass on Saturday against Leeds, perhaps underlining the effect that the wideman has on his side.

Wallace also had three successful dribbles as he attempted to get his side further up the pitch, and drew one foul from the Leeds side.

With Wallace in the form that he's in, then Millwall will surely be looking to climb the table when possible.
