Rotherham Wing-ing it in safety bid

- ADAM SHERGOLD

ROTHERHAM’S fate is back in their own hands thanks to Lewis Wing’s dramatic late equaliser against BLACKBURN. The Middlesbro­ugh loanee found the bottom corner of the net with a 20-yard free-kick four minutes from time to cancel out Adam Armstrong’s strike. The Millers, who have endured a gruelling schedule of 10 games in 30 days as they played Covid catch-up, are three points adrift of DERBY but with a game in hand. That comes tomorrow night when they travel to Luton before a final-day visit to Cardiff. ‘We showed out there how determined we are to stay in the Championsh­ip,’ said Rotherham boss Paul Warne. ‘It was a pressure keg of a game because of what was at stake. ‘I’m happy with a point, it could be a massive turning point.’ Derby’s loss at Swansea also keeps SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY in with a chance of a great escape despite a drab goalless draw with NOTTINGHAM FOREST. Keiren Westwood saved Lewis Grabban’s penalty in first-half stoppage time and attention now turns to Rotherham’s game tomorrow to see whether Wednesday’s last-day visit to Derby becomes winner-takesall. Bottom club WYCOMBE beat

BOURNEMOUT­H 1-0 but it would take a very unlikely set of results to overcome their goal difference deficit and see them avoid relegation. Uche Ikpeazu scored Wycombe’s winner from nearly 25 yards to sink the playoff bound Cherries. NORWICH secured the Championsh­ip title with a 4-1 win over READING. Kieran Dowell netted twice before Xavi Quintilla and Teemu Pukki secured victory. ‘We have got the feeling we are better prepared as a club and will give it a real go,’ said Norwich boss Daniel Farke of his Premier League hopes.
