ROTHERHAM United slipped to a fourth consecutive defeat--and their third on the bounce in League Two--when they went down 1-0 to Burton Albion at Don Valley Stadium this afternoon.

An eighth minute goal from League Two's leading scorer, Justin Richards, decided it as the Brewers, a point behind at the start of play, leapfrogged the Millers in the league table.

Andy Scott's side dominated the second half from start to finish but couldn't fashion an equaliser. They have now gone six games without a win.

Millers: Warrington, Tonge, Newey, Raynes, Mullins, Grabban, Harrison, Taylor, Pringle (Evans 55), Schofield (Marsall 63), Revell.

Burton: Atkins, Corbett, Blanchett, James, Austin, Taylor (Palmer 67), McGrath, Bolder, Phillips, Richards (Webster 75), Kee (Zola 55).

Referee: A. Haines
