Rotherham 4-0 Peterborough: Millers move third after thumping promotion rivals

Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Rotherham and Peterborough.

Rotherham moved above promotion rivals Peterborough with a thumping 4-0 victory.

The match featured two own goals and both teams finished with 10 men, but Rotherham were dominant throughout to cement their promotion credentials.

Adam Thompson should have sent Rotherham in ahead at the break but his back-post header was off target.

It took until the 50th minute for the home side's pressure to finally pay off when Richard Wood nodded in from Carlton Morris's cross.

Things got worse for Peterborough in the 54th minute when Frankie Kent received a second yellow for hauling down Chiedozie Ogbene.
