Luton attacker Fred Onyedinma scored his second goal for Rotherham United, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 2-1 home defeat to Leicester City in the Championship on Saturday.

The 26-year-old was recalled to the starting line-up after missing the 2-1 defeat at Sunderland following suspension, to take on a Tigers side that contained ex-Hatters loanee Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, with James Justin on the bench.

It was the Foxes who went ahead on 12 minutes when Kelechi Iheanacho’s cross was nodded home by Kasey McAteer.

However, the Millers were level early in the second half as Green crossed from the left and Onyedinma got in front of his marker to glance a header beyond Mads Hermansen and into the corner of the net.

Leicester went on to win it though with six minutes remaining thanks to McAteer’s second of the afternoon.
