Scunthorpe moved three points clear at the top of League One in 2007 after three second-half goals helped them to a handsome win over Millwall.
The home side dominated the first half but it took until the 50th minute for Jim Goodwin to put his ahead with a close-range effort.
Andy Crosby doubled the lead from the penalty spot soon after when Billy Sharp was fouled by Paul Robinson.
The on-loan Jermaine Beckford then tapped in with 10 minutes left.
