Rotherham 2 - 5 Huddersfield

Rotherham 2-5 Huddersfield

Two goals apiece from Jordan Rhodes and Benik Afobe helped Huddersfield thrash Rotherham and move into the area semi-finals of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Rhodes' curling shot made it 1-0 but Ryan Taylor equalised, steering home from a corner, before Rhodes tapped in.

Arsenal loanee Afobe headed in a third and he then set up Scott Arfield, who made it four with a composed finish.

Afobe scored again after a Joe Garner pass, although Rotherham grabbed a late goal with Ryan Cresswell's header.

Rotherham manager Ronnie Moore told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"It was going to be tough, we knew that, but it makes it even tougher when you concede after 30 seconds. That makes it an awful lot harder.

"We need to get back to the basics. The defending is so poor it's untrue. We are conceding too many goals"

Huddersfield Town manager Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds:

"I thought attacking-wise there were some exceptional bits of play, though I was very disappointed with the two goals we've given away from set-plays, and it's important we talk about these things even in a good win.

"We could have scored seven or eight goals, but the two goals we gave away were very, very poor so that's something we'll be looking at in the coming days.
