F-T: Rotherham United 1 Shrewsbury Town 2

The Millers were pressing for a winner in time added on against 10-man Shrewsbury, but the visitors broke away, won a corner and Stefan Payne settled the contest in the 93rd minute in favour of the League One leaders with a close-range shot.

It earned Shrews boss Paul Hurst bragging rights over the man he used to share a dressing room with when he and Warne were Rotherham players.

Rotherham were nowhere near their best but had dominated the second half after the 53rd-minute dismissal of Shrews captain Abu Ogogo.

They should have taken an early lead when they were awarded a 12th-minute penalty as Richie Towell was barged over in the box by Aristote Nsiala.

Kieffer Moore, the country's 13-goal leading scorer, stepped up to take it but Shrews keeper Dean Henderson dived to his left to pull off a good save.

The Millers were made to pay four minutes later when Jon Nolan latched on to the ball on the left and drove a shot across Richard O'Donnell to put Hurst's side ahead.

The Shrews were reduced to 10 men in the 53rd minute when Abu Ogogo was deservedly sent off for an over-the-ball challenge on Shaun Cummings.

Rotherham made their numerical advantage tell on 76 minutes when Joe Newell crossed and a defensive header dropped to Towell who never looked like missing as he volleyed home from just inside the area.

It set up a grandstand finish but the Millers, as they went after all three points, were hit by Payne's agonising sucker-punch.
