Fulham draw at home to Rotherham United

Fulham claim a point at home to Rotherham United as Ross McCormack scores in a 1-1 draw.

Fulham have drawn at home to Rotherham United thanks to a second-half strike from Ross McCormack.

The Millers made a lightning start as Matt Derbyshire prodded the ball into the back of the net following a goalmouth scramble.

Fulham almost hit back just three minutes later in an open game, but Matt Smith's header from Danny Guthrie's corner was cleared off the line by Jack Hunt.

Rotherham continued to be bold in attack and should have doubled their lead in the 15th minute, but Kirk Broadfoot planted his header from a corner straight at Marcus Bettinelli from five yards.

Fulham's goalkeeper made another smart stop to deny Derbyshire scoring a second when the striker's shot was blocked from close range a few minutes later, before Ward curled an effort over the bar from the edge of the box.

Ward missed a golden opportunity in the 42nd minute when Ben Pringle found him in the box, but he scuffed his shot wide of the post.

Fulham almost made them pay, but Emiliano Martinez kept out Bryan Ruiz from close range, before Bettinelli made sure that Rotherham only led by one at the break with a fingertip save from Broadfoot's powerful effort.

Rotherham picked up where they left off in the second half, as Derbyshire went close to his second with a dragged shot across the face of goal, but it was the home side who scored next as Scott Parker found McCormack in the box and he fired the ball past Martinez.

The home side went in search of a winner and came close through Tim Hoogland, but both teams had to settle for a draw.
