Half-Time Report: Rotherham United ahead against Brighton & Hove Albion

Matt Derbyshire's early goal gives Rotherham a half-time lead at home to Brighton in the Championship.

An early goal from Matt Derbyshire has given Rotherham United a half-time lead at home to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Championship.

Victory for the hosts would see bottom-placed Blackpool relegated to League One.

The Millers took the lead with just seven minutes on the clock as Derbyshire got beyond his marker to convert Jordan Bowery's teasing cross.

Rotherham continued to do most of the pressing after going ahead, though some poor deliveries from out wide hindered their chances of extending their advantage.

However, Steve Evans's side should have made it 2-0 midway through the half when Bowery headed over the crossbar from close range moments after Chris O'Grady had fired off target.

With Brighton offering little from an attacking perspective, Rotherham threatened again as Derbyshire allowed the ball to get away from him after being sent through on goal.

The home team carved out half a chance just before the half-time whistle as they kept at the Seagulls, but Paul Green dragged his shot wide following Ben Pringle's cross.
