Rotherham back into top-three
Rotherham United returned to the promotion places in League Two after a 3-1 win over Macclesfield Town.
Danny Harrison put Rotherham ahead after just 12 minutes, but the Silkmen battled back and were level just before the half-hour through Ben Wright.
Into the second-half and Ronnie Moore's men finally regained the lead, but it needed a penalty from Adam Le Fondre just nine minutes from time.
The win was wrapped with Drewe Broughton scoring minutes from the end.
Early lead
Town keeper Jon Brain had kept out Le Fondre's third minute shot with his legs, but he could do nothing eight minutes later when Dale Tonge's long ball into the area was headed straight to Danny Harrison who promptly returned it with interest into the bottom corner of the net.
But Macclesfield equalised against the run of play in the 26th minute. A long range shot smashed into the back of Ian Sharps and the ball dropped at the feet of Wright who forced his way past two defenders before firing home.
After the break, Macclesfield really put up the defensive shutters and challenged Rotherham to break them down.
It took them until the 78th minute to do it when Le Fondre was upended as he broke into the box and the little man picked himself up to score his 27th of the season from the penalty spot after three minutes of protests from the visitors.
And two minutes later Rotherham made it safe when substitute Abdulai Bell Baggie broke into the box and although his shot was parried by Brain, fellow substitute Drewe Broughton fired the lose ball home.
