Rotherham rallied to come from behind and beat League One strugglers Cambridge 2-1.
After Ryan Loft gave the second-bottom visitors the lead shortly after half-time, the Millers fought back through goals from Mallik Wilks and Hakeem Odoffin.
It took half an hour for either side to get going and the first chance fell Rotherham's way with Joe Rafferty's cross picking out Wilks only for Danny Andrew to make a critical block.

Odoffin should have got a connection on Wilks' deep cross just ahead of the interval.
Cambridge took the lead out of the blue in the 49th minute when Loft lashed in after finding space in the box from Josh Stokes' pass.
Rotherham responded well and got level after 53 minutes when Wilks was found by Joe Powell's cross and his header bounced in off the post.
Reece James then called Jack Stevens into action with a fierce low cross which had to be smothered.
Stevens made an even better save moments later from Louie Sibley's strike after Andre Green had broken clear down the left.
Rotherham netted the winner in the 69th minute with another flowing move down the left flank, which was finished by Odoffin who hammered home from Wilks' cross.
