Rotherham move 8 points clear of relegation zone with win

The Millers beat QPR 3-1 at the weekend.

Jordan Hugill notched his first goals in Millers colours with a timely brace as Rotherham United grabbed a vital victory in their Sky Bet Championship survival fight following a 3-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers.

At a lively AESSEAL New York Stadium, Hugill scored either side of the break – with his second coming from the spot – and despite Jamal Lowe giving Rangers hope late on, Hakeem Odoffin extinguished any hopes of a fightback with a telling third goal.  

The victory gave the Millers back-to-back home wins and helped them leapfrog their visitors in the process.

Boss Matt Taylor was dealt a blow prior to kick-off as he was forced to make two enforced changes to his starting line-up following their hard-fought draw with Swansea City in their last outing.
