    FT: MANCHESTER CITY 7-0 ROTHERHAM- No stoppage time added on by the referee, perhaps to save further punishment for the visitors. A convincing win for City, who show every bit of their superior quality to run riot in the end against Rotherham. The 'Millers' performed rather well, but were ultimately outclassed by the reigning Premier League champions.
