Millers stun Blades
Second-half goals from Kieran Agard, Daniel Nardiello and Rob Milsom sealed a 3-1 victory and extended the team’s unbeaten start in League One in style.
The Blades shaded the first half and after Tony McMahon hit the underside of the bar from an early free-kick, Jose Baxter put them into the lead on 36 minutes when he beat Scott Shearer from a tight angle.
