Rotherham   3 - 1   Chesterfield

Rotherham recovered from going a goal down to defeat Chesterfield.

The visitors were given a free-kick but then awarded a penalty after the referee consulted his assistant and Jamie Lowry scored from the spot.

Rotherham equalised when Danny Harrison struck from inside the penalty box to the bottom left corner of the goal.

Adam Le Fondre scored the Millers' second with a close-range effort before Kevin Ellison made the victory secure knocking the ball into an empty net.

Rotherham United assistant manager John Breckin told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"I thought the second half performance was magnificent"

"It hasn't been an ideal week. I have kept that players informed with what's happening. They are professional footballers"

"Andy Warrington kept us in the game"

Chesterfield manager John Sheridan told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"I though for 65 minutes we were very comfortable, we had some great opportunities to kill the game off.

"We didn't take our chances and paid the price, we've just got to be better.

Rotherham United chairman Tony Stewart told BBC Radio Sheffield about the situation of Mark Robins:

"I think if you were a betting man, you'd think the odds are all for him going.

"The deal's not done yet, but I think it will happen."
