Rotherham 3-1 Peterborough

Rotherham secured their first win of the new campaign with a comfortable victory over Peterborough.

The Robins never looked back after Derek Holmes finished from 10 yards after latching on to a long ball.

Chris O'Grady fired in on 33 minutes and two minutes later Holmes capped a fine move to claim his second goal with a powerful header past Shwan Jalal.

Peterborough had to wait until the 88th minute for a consolation when Aaron McLean headed home from a corner.
