Agard nets late clincher

Wes Thomas’s third goal in as many games put the Millers in front. Lee Miller’s equaliser looked like earning the home side a share of the spoils before Agard swooped to settle it.

 The first goal came on 24 minutes when a collision between goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and two team-mates saw the loose ball drop for Thomas to slot a simple chance.

 Having made all the running with the wind behind them, Rotherham were pegged back against the run of play in first-half injury time when Miller scored with an overhead kick.

 The second half was more even, with Agard forcing a good save from Pickford and Carlisle restricted to shots from distance. But a minute into time added on, Rotherham conjured a late winner for the third successive game when Alex Revell whipped in a super low cross and Agard stole in to score.
