Home setback for Millers

ROTHERHAM United were beaten 3-2 by Rochdale at the New York Stadium tonight.

A win looked on the cards when second-half headers from Alex Revell and substitute Daniel Nardiello cancelled out Dele Adebola’s first-half strike for the visitors.

But Dale struck the woodwork twice through Bobby Grant and Kevin McIntyre and hit back to take the spoils with a Grant penalty and a 20-yarder from McIntyre ten minutes from time.

It was the Millers’ first league defeat at their home, snapping a run of three victories.
