Ellis Harrison scored one and set up the winner as Rovers came back from a goal down to beat Rotherham at the Memorial Stadium.

Right-back Daniel Leadbitter lobbed the ball into the area and substitute Chris Lines nodded it on for Harrison to prod home his eighth goal of the campaign past the on-loan Fulham goalkeeper Marek Rodak at his near post from four yards out.

Striker Harrison picked out Liam Sercombe in the 75th minute and the midfielder side-footed home his sixth goal of the season from 12 yards past helpless Rodak to claim a first win in four league games.

But Rotherham were reduced to 10 men in the 79th minute when striker Moore was shown a red card for an elbow on defender Lee Brown.
