FT: Rotherham 2-3 Wycombe Ronnie Moore Ex-Rotherham manager on BBC Radio Sheffield Rotherham have got to do better than that - absolutely awful defending. They've made Wycombe look a little bit like Real Madrid in the second half. FT: Rotherham 2-3 Wycombe Job done for Wycombe. They're back up to second and into the automatic promotion places. FT: Rotherham 2-3 Wycombe Tim Peach BBC Three Counties Radio This is a really satisfying win for Wycombe because, over 11 days without a game, they're going to be thinking about how they've shown character and heart, gone back up to second and overtaken Wrexham again. A goal and assist for Richard Kone tonight. He is so crucial for Wycombe. FT: Rotherham 2-3 Wycombe Ronnie Moore Ex-Rotherham manager on BBC Radio Sheffield I said it was a nailed-on 0-0. Shows you what we know, doesn't it? It's a strange old game. Rotherham did well in the first half. We get the goal with Louie Sibley's shot that the goalkeeper should have saved. Then Joe Rafferty allows a cross, the centre-backs lose Richard Kone and, from that moment on, it was non-stop, one-way. The keeper's got to do better from the corner from the second. He comes out moaning at the referee but he should be getting to a fist to it. This sums up Rotherham's season, from where we started to where we are now. We can't defend in the right areas. Wycombe just about deserved it. FT: Rotherham 2-3 Wycombe My word, it was still 0-0 after 65 minutes! Rotherham 2-3 Wycombe What a second half that was! All five goals came after the 65th minute, starting when Wycombe keeper Will Norris let Louie Sibley's strike slip through his gloves for the opener. Chairboys top scorer Richard Kone soon levelled up the scoreline with a fine header and from there Wycombe came alive. Rotherham substitute Jonson Clarke-Harris thought he'd put the hosts ahead again but had handled the ball in the lead up to see it ruled out. Then came the real drama. Sonny Bradley and Gideon Kodua scored within a couple of minutes to put Wycombe 3-1 up and Jonson Clarke-Harris even had time to net a consolation with a penalty. A mostly sedate game with a bonkers ending. Rotherham 2-3 Wycombe Tim Peach BBC Three Counties Radio What a bizarre game. I thought it was a penalty. That felt like an unnecessary challenge by Xavier Simons. Jonson Clarke-Harris pen Jonson Clarke-Harris gets his goal from the spot, just beating the outstretched palm of Will Norris. Surely too little, too late for Rotherham though. Right? Rotherham 1-3 Wycombe What a finish to this match! Sam Nombe gets onto the ball in the penalty area and Xavier Simons barges into him to concede a penalty. Gideon Kodua That will be that! Richard Kone bursts into the box, squares the ball for substitute Gideon Kodua who keeps his composure to slot in. A HUGE three points for Wycombe. Rotherham 1-2 Wycombe Tim Peach BBC Three Counties Radio It was really clear what Wycombe were trying to do, because everyone was really tightly packed together within about two yards of the goalline. It was an inch-perfect delivery and a really strong header. The number of important late goals Wycombe have scored - that could be another. Dillon Phillips sprinted to the referee straight after it goes in, but he wasn't strong enough. He didn't do enough. Sonny Bradley Rotherham keeper Dillon Phillips comes out to parry a cross out of play but misjudges it. It zooms past his fingertips and onto the head of a rising Sonny Bradley to put Wycombe ahead! This one will certainly count. Rotherham 1-1 Wycombe Jonson Clarke-Harris is ecstatic as he powers home what might be a winner for Rotherham. .. or not. The ball clearly hits his hand as he attempts to control it and the Wycombe players are quick to rush to the referee and ask for him to rule it out. The ref agrees and the goal is chalked off, correctly. Rotherham 1-1 Wycombe Sam Avery BBC Three Counties Radio's Wycombe commentator Mallik Wilks doesn't look too pleased about being subbed.

Now the Chairboys are electric up field as they chase a winner. This the first time in the match Rotherham have had to face real pressure - can they stand up to it? Wycombe climb above Wrexham into second on goal difference Wycombe left it late but moved into the automatic promotion places with a dramatic win at Rotherham. The visitors had to come from a goal down, with League One's top scorer Richard Kone getting his 18th of the season before Sonny Bradley and Gideon Kodua scored late on. Mallik Wilks looked odds on to give Rotherham the lead after the break when he burst through on goal but he saw his shot bounce back off a post and into the grasp of goalkeeper Will Norris. Rotherham made the breakthrough in the 66th minute with Louie Sibley smashing an effort in from a tight angle. Norris got a hand to it but it bounced over the line via the underside of the crossbar.

The result was made safe in the second minute of stoppage time with Kodua able to power home from Kone's pass. There was still time for Rotherham to get one back, with Jonson Clarke-Harris tucking home a penalty in the fifth minute of added-on time after Joshua Kayode had been felled.
