Rotherham United won 2-0 at Peterborough on Tuesday evening, goals from Kyrell Lisbie and Jimmy Morgan giving the visitors a comfortable margin that reflected their control across much of the contest.

Lisbie opened the scoring on 17 minutes, finishing with composure after Rotherham worked the ball into a dangerous area down the left. Peterborough struggled to impose themselves in the first half and paid for it when Morgan doubled the advantage just before the break, heading home from close range to leave the home side with a significant problem at the interval.

Josh Benson collected a booking for Peterborough on 33 minutes, an indication of the frustration building in the home ranks. The second half brought a flurry of changes from both benches, with Patryk Sykut, Jacob Mendy and D. Kamara all introduced by Rotherham around the hour mark, and Gabriele Biancheri and Jack Holmes entering for Peterborough shortly after.

James Clarke, James Clarke came on for Rotherham at 74 minutes as the visitors managed the game sensibly. Peterborough pushed forward in the final quarter but created little of genuine threat, and the two-goal cushion always looked sufficient.

Kamara was involved frequently after his introduction and drew attention from the referee on multiple occasions. Lucca Mendonça and Declan Frith entered late for their respective sides, but the result was settled well before the closing stages.

Rotherham take three points and move their season forward in meaningful fashion.
