Millers fall to Foxes
Two first-half goals from record signing Leonardo Ulloa helped the Premier League-bound visitors assert their superiority and although substitute Kieran Agard reduced the deficit from close range just before the hour mark, Danny Drinkwater drilled in soon after to settle the contest.
It was still a good workout against a strong Leicester side, with manager Steve Evans making nine changes at half time.
