Rotherham United have won the EFL Trophy thanks to a dramatic 4-2 victory over Sutton United.

The League One leaders equalised in the 96th minute to make it 2-2, before scoring twice in extra-time at Wembley.

It was the first ever professional meeting between the two sides.

Sutton, who are in the mix to secure promotion from League Two, looked on course for victory after Donovan Wilson and Craig Eastmond struck either side of Ben Wiles.

But the Millers forced a further 30 minutes, when Jordi Osei-Tutu scored the equaliser in the final minute of second half stoppage time.

More goals from Chiedozie Ogbene and Michael Ihiekwe, secured the trophy for the second time in Rotherham's history.

The Millers had plenty of support in the capital with 12,000 fans making the journey to Wembley.
