Rival bosses Matt Taylor and Vincent Kompany react to Rotherham United's comeback draw against Burnley

The Millers twice came from behind to take a point in a pulsating 2-2 draw with champions-elect Burnley on another famous night under the lights at AESSEAL New York Stadium.

They did so despite losing goalkeeper Josh Vickers to injury and centre-forward Jordan Hugill to illness at half-time.

Taylor's men moved further clear of the drop zone and, with four matches left to play, second-tier safety is in sight.

"The game had everything," the boss said. "This group of players never cease to amaze me.

"The keeper getting injured in the first half, being unable to take goal-kicks and coming off at half-time, Jordan being forced off by illness, going behind twice ... the spirit we showed was outstanding.

Burnley are already promoted and are certain to lift the title.

"They were the better team," Taylor said. "They have better quality players than us, but I thought we deserved something.

"The lads are giving everything. They have done all season. A performance like that is certainly something for the fans to get hold of."

Rotherham, who gave rookie shot-stopper Robbie Hemfrey a career debut after the break, equalised on the stroke of half-time with an own goal and then levelled again late on through Georgie Kelly after the Clarets had retaken the lead.

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany said he was left scratching his head as to how his side hadn't taken all three points.

"It was very unlikely I was going to come here (into the media suite) and talk about a draw after the amount of chances we had," he said.

"The display was very good, I was happy with the flow of our game. We showed some really, really interesting ways of creating chances.

"I just feel sorry for the lads because they didn't reward themselves with a win."
