    Rotherham 2-0 Blackburn

    Some moment for Ollie Rathbone with the home side's second goal.

    His father Mick made over 250 appearances for Blackburn in the 1970s and 80s.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 58 mins

    Rotherham 2-0 Blackburn

    There was a real hold up after the second Rotherham goal because of an injury to Rovers defender Dom Hyam.

    He tried to give it a go but it's no good and teenager Ash Phillips is on in his stead.

    GOAL: Rotherham 2-0 Blackburnpublished at 52 mins

    Ollie Rathbone

    The home side double their lead!

    Ollie Rathbone lashes a thumping shot at goal from 25 yards out that thunders off the underside of the crossbar and, after a few moments of uncertainty, is deemed to have crossed the line.

    The Millers pressed up high and forced mistakes from the Rovers defence and ultimately got their reward.

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    No changes at the break from either side.

    Blackburn will be happy enough with how the first 45 minutes went really but they're going to have to find a cutting edge if they're to get back in this.

    Rotherham, who took the lead in the first minute through Hakeem Odoffin's thunderbolt, were on the ropes for much of the first half but had their moments.

    Blackburn get us back under way.

    Can third-placed Rovers turn it around?

    A reminder that there are a bumper 11 Championship games to come following the early kick-off.

    The top two, Burnley and Sheffield United, are both at home and have the chance to move further clear of the play-off places.

    Meanwhile, there's a clash between play-off challengers Middlesbrough and Millwall while Kolo Toure is still looking for his first win in charge of bottom club Wigan.

    We'll bring you all the goals as they go in, along with updates from League One and League Two, where there are also some tasty-looking fixtures.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:21 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    Hakeem Odoffin's goal in the first minute is the difference between the two sides at the break.

    Odoffin's quality strike after just 33 seconds is the quickest goal scored in the second tier so far this season.

    Blackburn have largely had the better of it since then but, with striker Ben Brereton Diaz unavailable for family reasons, they've looked a little toothless up top.

    A win for the Millers would lift them four points clear of the bottom three.

    Blackburn ending the half on top.

    Harry Pickerig sends in another cross that Sam Gallagher does well to get on target but it's lacking pace and Viktor Johansson fields it comfortably.

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    Rotherham applying some pressure after weathering that Blackburn storm.

    They win a corner after causing some panic in the Rovers defence.

    It's headed out as far as Cameron Humphreys, who tries his luck from about 30 yards out and... well, it's still 1-0.

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    All Blackburn now.

    A neat move eventually sees Ryan Hedges in on goal 10 yards out.

    He shoots low but Viktor Johansson is off his line well to deny him with his legs.

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    The ball sits up nicely for Jack Vale to have a go for the away side from 25 yards or so.

    His effort lacks power and is straight at Viktor Johansson in the Millers net.

    Blackburn have dominated possession but Viktor Johansson in the home goal is yet to be forced into any meaningful work.

    Bradley Dack is looking very lively for the away side.

  15. Postpublished at 28 mins

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    Another chance for the away side.

    Harry Pickering swings in a great cross from the left and Bradley Dack has the run on his man.

    The Rovers forward gets his header all wrong and it flies wide off his shoulder.

  16. Postpublished at 25 mins

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    Brief hold-up as Rotherham's Shane Ferguson is getting some treatment.

    The tackles have been flying in so far. All fairly I should say.

    Ferguson is back on his feet and good to go.

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    Chance!

    Bradley Dack chips in a lovely pass over the top of the Rotherham defence but Sam Gallagher's first touch runs through to Millers goalkeeper Viktor Johansson.

    The home side were sure the striker was offside but there was no flag and replays show he was on.

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    Rotherham will move four points clear of the bottom three if they can claim victory today.

    It's been a tough run for the Millers, who are without a win since before the break for the World Cup.

    That early goal has given them something to defend today.

  19. Postpublished at 11 mins

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn have had the better of it since that wonderful Hakeem Odoffin goal for the hosts inside 35 seconds.

    Rovers are without leading scorer Ben Brereton Diaz today as his partner is expecting their first child.

    The Chile international has scored nine and assisted four for the promotion hopefuls so far this campaign.

    Rotherham 1-0 Blackburn

    This is a really open game so far.

    Both teams are looking to get forward quickly and both defences look like they could have a mistake in them.

    Rovers forward Bradley Dack tries his luck from 20 yards but goalscorer Hakeem Odoffin gets the block on.
