Nineteen-year-old England under-21s centre-back Cresswell has joined the Lions on loan for next season and the teen made his debut in the second-half of Saturday's friendly against Crystal Palace.

Cresswell was brought on as boss Gary Rowett made 11 changes at the interval at which point the game was tied 2-2 but Palace struck twice after the break to go two goals ahead.

But Creswell then started a Lions comeback by flicking home a header from a corner for his first Millwall goal, after which Zian Flemming struck to draw his side level at 4-4.

Palace, though, hit straight back with eight minutes left to bag a winner for the final goal of a nine-goal thriller which ended 5-4.
