Stockport boosted their League One promotion hopes after coming from behind to beat Rotherham 3-1.

Mallik Wilks put Rotherham ahead at Edgeley Park but Jack Diamond levelled before half-time and Brad Hills and Kyle Wootton completed the turnaround.

After a positive Stockport start, the Millers took the lead against the run of play in the ninth minute when Wilks nodded home Reece James’s cross.

Stockport stopper Corey Addai saved Joe Powell’s curling 20th-minute shot and later Ibou Touray could have equalised but headed Hills’s cross over.

County levelled three minutes before half-time thanks to Diamond’s sublime curling effort beyond Cameron Dawson from the edge of the box.

Stockport went ahead on the hour when Hills emphatically headed home from substitute Odin Bailey’s inviting cross at the back post.

Dawson clawed away Fraser Horsfall’s header, before Wootton swept home from a 73rd-minute Hatters counter-attack, moments after Rotherham’s Wilks appealed for a penalty at the other end.

Wootton nearly scored his second and Stockport’s fourth but stabbed inches wide 15 minutes from full-time.

Victory leaves them all but certain of a play-off place and just five points behind Wrexham in the second automatic promotion spot.
