Freddie Ladapo fired Rotherham ahead at Wham Stadium on Saturday, only for Jordan Clark to level the scores inside 60 seconds, but Ben Wiles' 91st-minute effort sealed all three points.

The South Yorkshire club keep hold of their place at the summit of the third tier standings, level on 60 points with second-placed Coventry City, and one above Wycombe Wanderers.

Croatian defender Filip Benković has made three appearances for Bristol City.

Efforts from Jerry Yates and Diallang Jaiyesimi, plus an own goal from Luke Hendrie, put Richie Wellens' side out of reach before James Hanson's consolation strike at the County Ground.

As a result, Swindon remain atop of the fourth tier on 66 points, two clear of Crewe Alexandra and three above Exeter City, after winning 20 of their 34 games so far this season.

In France, midfielder Adrien Silva and striker Islam Slimani starred as Leonardo Jardim's AS Monaco were held to a 1-1 draw by Dijon at Stade Gaston-Gerard in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Despite Mama Balde giving the home side the lead, Monaco hit back through Guillermo Maripan with 11 minutes to play, leaving them fifth in French football's top division.
