Nottingham Forest 2-1 Rotherham United

Michail Antonio has now scored 15 league goals for Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest came from behind to earn their first win of the season at the expense of visitors Rotherham.

Ex-Forest defender Danny Collins headed the Millers ahead early on, but Matt Mills equalised right on half-time.

Michail Antonio put the hosts ahead after the break from close range when Rotherham goalkeeper Kelle Roos failed to deal with a Chris Burke cross.

The deserved result gave Forest a first league win since they beat Rotherham in March.

Steve Evans's Millers have now lost their first two league games of the season and remain winless on their travels since a 2-0 victory at Huddersfield on 7 March.

Things had started well for Rotherham, Collins rising well to head Joe Newell's right-wing corner past Dorus de Vries.

Mills nodded in his first goal for the club from Jamie Ward's cross just before the break and the hosts led in slightly fortunate circumstances when Antonio capitalised on Roos's mistake to net his third goal of the season.

In the end, Forest were comfortable winners and remain unbeaten in 16 league meetings with Rotherham since 1956.

Nottingham Forest manager Dougie Freedman: "After a good start we had a set-back, but we stuck with the style of play that we want to adapt - and we kept on probing after we had gone behind.

"The outcome was the right result. Credit to Rotherham, because they started well. But I was pleased that we kept faith in our style, we played the way that we wanted.

"The crowd stuck with us, they understood what we were trying to do. And we stayed patient on the pitch. I am pleased that we had a good, professional performance.

"I did not play that well here when I was a player (for Forest) but I do understand the crowd and I know they appreciate good football. I told the players to stick with the style of play that the fans deserve.

"We want to play attacking football."

Rotherham boss Steve Evans: "We played with a lot of energy all over the pitch. There were some outstanding performances and we were only let down by the officials.

"They had two chances to score and they scored two goals. Perhaps we could have defended the second one a little bit better.

"But if we play like that in the Championship for the rest of the season we will come away with a lot of points.

"We have come to play a fantastic football club, in Forest, with good, good players and we are really pleased with our performance. We will get better as well, as the season goes on."
