Nardiello at the double for Millers

STRIKER Daniel Nardiello struck twice as Rotherham United came from behind to beat Morecambe at the New York Stadium tonight.

 

Trailing to a 29th minute goal from ex-Miller Kevin Ellison, Nardiello scored twice in two minutes in the second half as Steve Evans men won 2-1 and collected back-to-back victories for the first time this season.

 

The former Barnsley man pounced from close range to net the equaliser on 64 minutes and then blasted in from Bob Harris’s centre to leave the seasiders stunned.
