Tranmere Rovers were once again denied a victory, this time at home, after facing Rotherham, and the victory was snatched from them at the last minute, with a penalty.

Rovers drew 2-2 at home with the rivals.

They looked set to claim all three points after Tom Ince's late strike appeared to have won the game, but Tom Bradshaw levelled from the spot in the sixth minute of added time to salvage a point for the Millers.

Tranmere started well and took the lead in the 16th minute when Zane Okoro reacted quickest after Ted Cann parried Dylan Jones' shot, firing home from a tight angle for his second goal in two games.

The lead should have been doubled on the half-hour mark when Jones pounced on a mix-up in the Rotherham defence, only to fire over an open goal from 18 yards.

However, Rotherham built momentum after the break, with Kian Spencer seeing his goal pathway cleared off the line by Jordan Turnbull.

The visitors finally drew level in the 84th minute when Aaron Nemane converted at the far post from an Ar'Jany Martha cross.

Victory looked sweet as Ince scored in the 87th minute, but it wasn't to last.

Bradshaw was brought down by Faulkner, who received a red card for his actions. Bradshaw then earned a penalty, which led to Rotherham's equaliser.
