Rotherham United 0 Luton Town 1 - player ratings

Seven days after a brilliant win over Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United suffered a disappointing night at the New York Stadium.

They played well in the first 45 minutes but when Luton Town went up a gear in the second half, they left the Millers behind.

A 1-0 defeat flattered the Millers, with the Hatters hitting the post in the second half and missing good chances.
