Notts C 0 Rotherham 3: Pringle helps ensure Millers ease through

Goals from Ben Pringle, Mark Bradley and Daniel Nardiello all but settled the second-round replay before the interval and the stunned hosts had to play an hour with 10 men after Damion Stewart was sent off on the half-hour mark.

Chasing a fourth successive away win, the Millers had the perfect start inside the first 10 minutes when Pringle put them ahead with a dipping shot from 25 yards.

He turned supplier for the next goal, whipping in a corner that ended with Bradley firing into the roof of the net at the far post.

A big task for Notts County became even more difficult when Stewart was shown a straight red card for elbowing Alex Revell in the face.

League Two Rotherham made their one-man advantage tell as Lee Frecklington rounded goalkeeper Liam Mitchell and squared for Nardiello to tuck in a third goal just before the break.

Substitute Joss Labadie flashed an effort narrowly wide as County tried to find a way back into the tie, but the Millers had opportunities to put further gloss on the scoreline.

Frecklington pushed a good chance wide and Pringle, Revell and Michael O’Connell all had the goalkeeper flapping as the clock ticked down.

A good stop from Mitchell prevented Revell adding a fourth, but Rotherham booked a trip to Aldershot Town in the third round on January 5 with plenty to spare.
