MIDD’BRO 0 ROTHERHAM 3

MIDDLESBROUGH went down to a third home defeat in 12 days.

Boro boss Neil Warnock’s former club Rotherham boosted their survival prospects as Matt Crooks volleyed the visitors ahead from the edge of the box.

Michael Smith scored his fifth goal in seven games with a penalty after Michael Ihiekwe was fouled. And debutant Ryan Giles, 21 last Tuesday, netted the third.
