Swansea 1 – 1 Rotherham
Swansea and Rotherham earned a point apiece from an entertaining 1-1 draw at the Swansea.com Stadium on Monday night.
Joel Piroe ended a four-match goal drought to give the hosts the lead three minutes before the break, after Chiedozie Ogbene had struck the post inside the first minute for Rotherham.
But Republic of Ireland international Ogbene struck a bizarre, improved equaliser with 52 minutes on the clock with Swansea unable to recapture the lead.
The point is, arguably, more valuable to Matt Taylor’s Millers, who are now six points above the relegation zone with 12 games to play; Swansea now sit 15th, 10 points outside the top six, with their play-off hopes ebbing away.
