Away joy for Millers

ROTHERHAM United struck a late winner to beat AFC Wimbledon 1-0 at Kingsmeadow this afternoon.

 

 

Substitute Kieran Agard’s header went in via a post and goalkeeper Neil Sullivan 12 minutes from time to settle a tight contest.

 

The goal was just reward for a gritty performance and second-half pressure which saw Daniel Nardiello and Lee Frecklington cause some anxious moments before Agard struck.

Wimbledon were lively on the break but Steve Evans’ men were equal to the threat, with Ian Sharps thwarting the closest effort when clearing off the line from Toby Ajala.
