Rotherham 0-1 Watford: Asprilla stunner secures victory for Hornets

Watford ended a run of three straight Championship defeats with a confident victory over Rotherham United at the New York Stadium.

Yaser Asprilla's stunning second half strike was enough to secure the three points and lift the Hornets to 11th in the Championship.

It was a passive performance from the home side, who struggled to create many chances throughout.

The Millers remain rooted to the bottom after a fourth successive defeat.

Rotherham started confidently, but Watford soon began to assert themselves as Ken Sema was denied by a last-ditch challenge by Hakeem Odoffin, and Francisco Sierralta headed wide.
