Hoskins is Easter match winner

ROTHERHAM United won 2-1 at AFC Wimbledon this afternoon with a late winner from substitute Sam Hoskins.

The on-loan young striker fired in an angled drive on 83 minutes to seal a deserved three points.

The Millers dominated the first half and Dale Tonge, Ben Pringle and Gareth Evans all went close before the first goal arrived on 33 minutes.

Pringle’s low punt from 25 yards was misjudged by goalkeeper Jack Turner and bounced under him and into the net.

Wimbledon improved in the second half and equalised on 66 minutes when Luke Moore blasted in off a post.

Moore got back to clear off the line from Lewis Grabban at the other end and then put a great chance over before Hoskins’ late strike, his first goal for the club since his move from Southampton, decided it.
