F-T: Bristol Rovers 2 Rotherham United 1

The Millers have gone seven league matches without a win and slipped to 13th in the table.

They went ahead in the second half against a Rovers side who had lost their previous six games, but couldn't hang on at the Memorial Stadium.

They were already trailing 2-1 when 13-goal Moore was shown a straight red card after an altercation with Lee Brown in the 79th minute.

After a goalless first half, the encounter came to life when Rotherham took the lead with their first attempt on target. Ryan Williams buried his 56th-minute shot after initially standing on the ball following Joe Newell's defence-splitting pass.

But their advantage lasted for just eight minutes as they only half-cleared a corner and Ellis Harrison prodded home when the ball came back into the box.

They fell behind in the 75th minute as Sercombe raced on to a looping ball into the area, controlled it and slotted it past Marek Rodak.

Four minutes later, Moore received his marching orders and now faces a three-match ban.

Michael Ihiekwe could have earned an unlikely draw for the Millers in the 89th minute but made a mess of his header from Newell's cross.
