Rotherham made it three wins out of three under Matt Hamshaw as Sam Nombe’s first-half strike earned them a smash-and-grab 1-0 win at Bolton in League One.

The Millers took their only real opportunity of a one-sided game at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, with Nombe plundering a 12th goal of the season after a mistake by Gethin Jones after 11 minutes.

Play-off chasing Bolton wasted a plethora of chances to at least draw themselves level and also found Cameron Dawson in fine form, the keeper making eye-catching saves to deny Josh Dacres-Cogley, John McAtee, Aaron Collins and George Johnston.

McAtee also hit the outside of a post after finally getting around the Rotherham stopper in the second half and Hakeem Odoffin made two goal-line blocks.

Bolton’s desperation grew and they laid siege to the visitors’ goal to the end but still could not find a way past Dawson, who pulled off another marvellous save at close range from Bolton’s top scorer Collins in the dying minutes.
