Millwall striker, Matt Smith, has enjoyed a solid start to the season under Gary Rowett.Â
The powerful striker has bagged two goals in the League Cup, whilst he's also played a key part in Millwall's impressive start to the season that's seen them pick up 11 points.
A 2-0 win over Luton Town last night moved Rowett's side into fourth, with Smith again impressing leading the line for the Lions.
Do Millwall and West Ham have these 10 things in common?
Smith had a hand in the opening goal of the game, with his presence from a corner forcing Martin Cranie to turn into his own net. Connor Mahoney doubled the lead in the second-half.
One observation that was made about Millwall and Smith was how hands-on the Luton defenders were with the striker at any set-piece, which was even an issue when Rowett's side took the lead through Cranie's own goal.
Taking to Twitter, one fan shared a video replicating what it was like watching Smith from a corner, which prompted a response from the towering striker on social media:
The VerdictÂ
Smith is such a handful from set-pieces and, rightly or wrongly, it's a trait of all defenders to tussle with him in this way.
Credit to the striker for being such a threat. He did so well for the game's opening goal last night and it's a shame the goal hasn't been awarded to him.
Let's see if Smith gets some lighter treatment in the coming weeks after this has been pointed out.
