Sebastian Revan scores first Rotherham goal in win over Millwall

In a thrilling Championship clash, Rotherham secured a crucial victory over Millwall to keep their hopes of avoiding relegation alive. Sebastian Revan and Charlie Wyke were the heroes for the Millers, scoring their first goals for the club in a 2-1 win.

The match started evenly, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the breakthrough. Rotherham suffered an early setback when Murray Wallace was forced off with an injury, but they regrouped and took the lead in the 71st minute through Revan’s well-placed shot.

Millwall responded quickly, equalizing through Ryan Longman five minutes later. However, Rotherham had the last laugh as Revan turned provider for Wyke, who headed home the winner in the 86th minute.

The victory was Rotherham’s fourth of the season, but they still face an uphill battle to avoid relegation, sitting 16 points adrift of safety with six games remaining. They will need to build on this result and secure more points in the coming matches to have any chance of survival.

Manager Leam Richardson was delighted with the performance, praising his players for their resilience and determination. On the other hand, Millwall boss Neil Harris rued his team’s missed opportunities and lamented the referee’s decisions.

With the relegation battle heating up in the Championship, Rotherham’s victory over Millwall has added another twist to the tale. The Millers will be hoping to build on this result and continue fighting until the end of the season to secure their place in the league.
