Scunthorpe and Rotherham squared off on Saturday in the battle for Championship promotion after finishing fourth and fifth respectively in League One, and while goals from Jon Taylor and Joe Newell looked enough to secure the victory for the visitors, a fortuitous own goal from the Nigerian and a late strike from Cameron McGeehan denied them a first leg victory.

But Warne would not blame the Liverpool-born defender though, admitting that he was only trying to clear before inadvertently putting through his own net in the 18th minute.


The players of Nigerian descent who featured in action for both sides during the encounter were Scunthorpe's duo of Hope Adelakun and Funso Ojo while Scunthorpe called on the services of Joshua Emmanuel, Ihiekwe and former Arsenal starlet, Semi Ajayi.
