Late Rotherham goal delays Burnley title win

Scott Twine's goal for Burnley was just his second since his summer move from Milton Keynes Dons for a fee reportedly in excess of £4m

Burnley were made to wait to clinch the Championship title after being held to a 2-2 draw at Rotherham.

Shane Ferguson's inswinging corner on the stroke of half-time bamboozled Burnley with Vininho getting the final touch as he put the ball into his own net.

The away fans were celebrating after Manuel Benson's superb curling left-footed effort into the top left corner restored the lead, but Georgie Kelly equalised from close range with five minutes to go.

The draw means Vincent Kompany's team - who are 10 points clear of second-placed Sheffield United - still need one more win to secure the title with four games to go.

A point - which also denied Burnley a chance of breaking the Championship record for points won in a season - keeps the Millers in 18th place four points clear of the relegation places.

Connor Roberts had a low sixth-minute effort for the visitors saved by the legs of Josh Vickers after good build-up play down the left by Anass Zaroury.

The Millers had a penalty claim for handball turned down and soon after fell behind when Roberts's looping cross from the left was met by a controlled finish from Twine for just his second Burnley goal after his summer move from Milton Keynes Dons.

Two minutes later it could have been 2-0 had Vitinho's curling effort been the other side of the post after a mix-up between Vickers and his defenders on the edge of the box.

Burnley felt they should have had a penalty six minutes before the break when Josh Cullen's shot appeared to be blocked by the arm of Jamie Lindsay and the Millers levelled with a fortuitous equaliser from Ferguson's corner.

Rotherham keeper Vickers was unable to take goal-kicks towards the end of the half and the Millers' second-choice stopper was replaced by 21-year-old Robbie Hemfrey, who was making his first appearance as a professional.

He was called into action in the opening minute of the half as he saved Johann Berg Gudmundsson's shot before palming away a Roberts effort 10 minutes later.

Gudmundsson then saw a 69th-minute header whistle past Hemfry's near post and Twine also went close but they finally found a way through with Benson's superb effort, but Kelly side-footed home from Chiedozie Ogbene's cross as Rotherham ended strongly.

Ogbene and Tarique Fosu forced late saves from Bailey Peacock-Farrell as the Millers pushed in vain for a winner, but had to settle for a point.
