Millers take it down to the wire

Rotherham kept their survival hopes alive, with Lewis Wing blasting in a low freekick to earn the Millers a vital point with just four minutes left on the clock.

At one point during the game, Rotherham were mathematically relegated, but Swansea City’s win over Derby has ensured who drops will go down to the wire.

Warne’s men play their final game in hand away to Luton Town on Tuesday.

A win would lift them out of the drop zone on goal difference and hand them the advantage on what promises to be a nerve-jangling final day of the season next Saturday.

Adam Armstrong’s 26th of season looked like it was going to hand Tony Mowbray’s side the three points, but they were guilty of being wasteful in front of goal and were punished by Wing.
