Rotherham guaranteed their Championship survival with a 1-0 win over 10-man Middlesbrough on Monday.

The Millers had been relegated in each of their previous three second tier campaigns.

But Hakeem Odoffin's second-half winner ensured their safety with one game to spare.

Rotherham cannot be caught by third bottom Reading who, following their six-point deduction, currently hold the final relegation spot.

The Royals can now only leapfrog Huddersfield, who are three points above them, have a game in hand and a better goal difference.

Fourth placed Middlesbrough have already secured a play-off berth but were hoping to pass Luton in third place.

Instead, Michael Carrick's team lost Anfernee Dijksteel to a straight red card just before half-time and could find no way back once Odoffin netted three minutes into the second half.
