Millers thrash Oxford

ROTHERHAM United turned on the style to hammer Oxford 4-0 at the Kassam Stadium.

First-half strikes from David Noble, Kari Arnason, Johnny Mullins and Ben Pringle paved the way for a handsome victory.

Noble broke the deadlock with a deflected shot from distance on the half-hour mark. An Arnason header doubled the advantage three minutes later before Mullins lashed in the third and Pringle pounced on more shoddy defending to turn in the fourth just before the break.

The Millers saw out the second half with ease and nearly added a fifth from Lee Frecklington as they stretched their unbeaten run to six games.

They are now up to fourth spot in League Two.
