Millers stunned by Burton comeback

ROTHERHAM United boss Ronnie Moore said this afternoon's home draw with Burton Albion at Don Valley Stadium felt like a defeat.

The Millers squandered a 3-0 half time lead to draw 3-3 in the League Two clash as Shaun Harrad grabbed a hat-trick to give the lively visitors a deserved point.

Kevin Ellison had put Rotherham ahead inside the first 55 seconds and a 33rd minute header from captain Ryan Cresswell doubled the advantage before Adam

Le Fondre popped up to score his seventh goal of the season to put the match seemingly beyond reach.

Harrad reduced the deficit in the first few seconds of the second half and then added a penalty on the hour mark before netting the equaliser eight minutes from time.

Moore said: "It feels like a defeat. I don't know how we were three up at half time because we were never in the game.

"All we had to do then was hold on for 45 minutes but we conceded a goal before I had even sat down.

"We were poor; as poor as I've seen us."
