Substitute Femi Azeez’s first Millwall goal rescued a point for the Lions in added time against Sunderland.
The Black Cats led through Aaron Connolly's 10th-minute volley before the players were taken off the pitch for half an hour while medical staff attended two separate emergencies in the crowd.
The Lions were a team transformed after the break and returning Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson pulled off a string of saves to preserve his side's lead.
But the hosts eventually found the goal their pressure deserved deep into added time as Azeez tapped in from a cross by fellow sub Aidomo Emakhu to extend Millwall's unbeaten run to eight games.
