With goals from Tommy Conway and Scott Twine in each half, Bristol City defeated the long-relegated Millers 2-0 at Ashton Gate to increase their winning streak to seven games.
Conway’s foul in the 32nd minute gave the home team the lead after he had gone around goalie Dillon Phillips. For his 12th goal of the year, the striker stepped up to send Phillips the wrong way with a well-struck penalty.
Though clearly second best on the day, Rotherham rarely threatened and stuck to their assignment with a game face.
Following a lackluster campaign, newly reinstated manager Evans announced that he was drafting a report for chairman Tony Stewart outlining the club’s best course of action.
Evans remarked, “I am confident that we can bounce back next season, but this is one of the biggest challenges I have taken on.”
