A great game for the neutrals but Rotherham fans might feel rather hard done by after they valiantly battled back to equalise, only to see a point slip away thanks to Sam Vokes.

Gary Smee's match report from tonight's game can be found here.

We'll be back again on Saturday afternoon for more Championship live text commentary when Wolves take on Huddersfield (12:30 BST kick-off).

Until then thank you for joining us and goodnight.

Burnley striker Sam Vokes told Sky Sports:

"I tried to catch it as sweet as I can but it was nice to get back to winning ways tonight.

"It's a tough place to come and they've put some good results together here but it's great to get three points.

"It's going to be tight up there, we know how strong this league is and it's great to get the points on the board tonight."

Burnley striker Andre Gray told Sky Sports:

"It was always going to be a tough game with Rotherham losing their manager and all their players had a lot to prove.

"It was even tougher when they got a goal back but we managed to nick it in the end.

"We have a long way to go with a lot of the season left."

Well that's that and Burnley have taken all three points from the New York Stadium - their first win away at Rotherham since January 1993.

After George Boyd and Andre Gray combined to give Burnley a ninth-minute lead, Grant Ward restored parity in superb fashion with a fantastic strike.

Sean Dyche's men produced a fantastic response but Lee Camp will feel unlucky to concede a scrappy goal so soon afterwards.

Burnley move up to third whilst Rotherham slip a place to 21st.

Joey Barton looks like he's in some discomfort as he tangles with Jonson Clarke-Harris, who is booked. Welcome back to the Championship, Joey.

Danny Ward taps the ball wide of Tom Heaton's post as the official puts up the board. Four more minutes for Rotherham to get something out of this match.

Chris Long comes on for Burnley goalscorer Andre Gray. We're entering the final stages at the New York Stadium. Could Rotherham force a shock equaliser?

Andre Gray runs into the Rotherham box and sends a low ball that runs past the hosts' back line straight into the path of Matt Taylor but Lewis Buxton is on hand to save the Millers' blushes.

Rotherham make their third and final change after the equaliser. Kirk Broadfoot comes on in place of Farrend Rawson.

Burnley also bring on Matthew Taylor for George Boyd.

What a goal from Grant Ward. It's only 2 October but that is an absolute wonder strike and a worthy contender for goal of the month.

The Millers man unleashes a tremendous strike from long range that curls home and Tom Heaton can't stop it going in.

Amazing scenes.

Finally, a rather relieved Eric Black makes the first change of the game and it's a double substitution. Tony Andreu and Joe Newell make way for Danny Ward and Chris Maguire.

Rotherham have a couple of substitutes waiting to come on but the ball has not been out of play for about five minutes!

Matt Derbyshire is incensed as he's cynically pushed to the ground by Michael Keane who goes absolutely nowhere near the ball.Burnley's centre back is lucky not to receive a yellow card of his own there.

Rotherham's Danny Collins receives the first caution of the game after he pulls back goalscorer Andre Gray.

That's as blatant as they come.

Joey Barton lets fly from just past the centre circle and the ball falls to Scott Arfield who tries his luck but his effort goes wide of the mark. Burnley looking more comfortable as they've eased into the second half.

A defensive mix up from Tendayi Darikwa allows Jonson Clarke-Harris to send the ball into the Burnley area to Tony Andreu but Joey Barton clears the danger brilliantly.

Burnley have the former QPR and Newcastle man to thank for keeping their one goal lead.

Those Burnley fans will certainly be encouraged by what they've seen so far.

A quiet opening five minutes to the second half, short of any real efforts on goal. Both sides sizing each other up it appears.

And it's Burnley who get us under way in this second half.
