Rotherham relegated from Championship

Rotherham United became the first side in the English Football league to be relegated this season.

What has been inevitable for some weeks became reality for the Yorkshire side after a 1-0 home defeat to Fulham.

Fulham won a scrappy game, with a scrappy goal and it was enough to take the Cottagers into the play-off spots. This was because Sheffield Wednesday could only manage a 1-1 draw away at Barnsley in the lunch-time kick-off.

Relegation ends a three years stint for Rotherham in the Championship after they won back-to-back promotions under Steve Evans.
