Leeds’ early goal at the New York Stadium, courtesy of Crysencio Summerville in the seventh minute, was cancelled out on the stroke of half-time as Hakeem Odoffin swept in an equaliser against the run of play. The away side had dominated the game from the first minute but sloppily surrendered their advantage during the one minute of added-on time at the end of the first half.
The Whites toiled during the second half searching for a winner and thought they’d found it through substitute Jaidon Anthony late on, but Patrick Bamford was flagged offside in the build-up to the goal, much to the disappointment of the 2,000-or-so travelling fans.
Illan Meslier made a handful of saves to ensure Leeds left South Yorkshire with a point to their names, but having taken the lead, there is a real sense that this game was a missed opportunity. Player ratings here.
7. Glen Kamara - 6/10
Some tidy work in possession, got about the pitch to defend when he had to but quite often couldn't find a way through. Squandered a big chance. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
8. Ethan Ampadu - 6/10
Covered lots of ground, tried to keep the ball moving. Not his best performance in a Leeds shirt. Couldn't solve the Millers' stubborn block. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
9. Dan James - 7/10
Worked hard, tried to stretch Rotherham and his pace did cause problems. Put in some good deliveries, played a beautiful ball for Gnonto. Missed a good first half chance. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
10. Joel Piroe - 5/10
A couple of clever passes but he lashed at a volley when composure was called for and couldn't make a telling impact when Leeds needed a second goal. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
11. Crysencio Summerville - 8/10
Dangerous in the first half, took the goal beautifully and gave defenders problems. Didn't always pick the right option but he was still the best player on the pitch. Photo: George Wood
12. Georginio Rutter - 6/10
Provided a lovely assist but drifted in and out of the game. Some of his flicks didn't come off. Visibly struggled with his side injury in the second half. Photo: George Wood
