Honours even in New York clash

ROTHERHAM United had to settle for a point from a six-goal thriller with Fulham at the New York Stadium.

Leading three times through Paul Taylor, Jonson Clarke-Harris and an own goal from Nikolay Bodurov, they were pegged back on each occasion, with the visitors bagging their final equaliser at the death.

Taylor opened the scoring after 28 minutes, cutting in off the right wing to guide a left-footer low inside the far post. It was his first goal since his loan move from Ipswich.

Fulham were back on level terms five minutes later. George Williams was adjudged to have been impeded by Lee Frecklington and Ross McCormack sent Adam Collin the wrong way from the penalty spot.

The Millers snuffed out a bright start to the second half from the visitors when they re-claimed the lead on 55 minutes, Clarke Harris getting ahead of his marker to stab home a super delivery from Ben Pringle for his second goal in as many games.

An entertaining contest took another turn three minutes later as Cauley Woodrow floated a quality effort into the top corner to make it 2-2.

Steve Evans’ battlers looked set to clinch their third win in four games when Pringle’s drive deflected in off Bodurov with five minutes to go but Fulham skipper Dan Burn headed in a corner to even the scores once more.
