League One results: Rotherham United, Sheffield Wednesday, Doncaster Rovers all beaten

Rotherham United missed the chance to go 13 points clear of the play-off pack in the race for promotion to the Championship as third-placed MK Dons came from behind to win 2-1 at the New York Stadium.

It all looked to be positive for the Millers as Dan Barlaser scored midway through the first half from the penalty spot as Daniel Harvie was sent off.

But the 10 men hit back in the second half through two quickfire goals from Harry Darling and Mohamed Eisa.
