Bournemouth 1-0 Rotherham: Philip Billing goal gives Cherries win

Managerless Bournemouth boosted their play-off push with a battling victory over struggling Rotherham.

The hosts, who are understood to be interested in talking to Montreal boss Thierry Henry, won it thanks to Philip Billing's cool finish from 12 yards out from Adam Smith's cut-back.

The Millers improved after the break and only a superb save from Asmir Begovic denied Ben Wiles before substitute Freddie Ladapo blazed over after getting in behind the home defence.

A third win in four games under caretaker Cherries boss Jonathan Woodgate extended their gap over seventh-placed Cardiff to six points.
