Manager Lampard sent to stands as his 10-man side is beaten
Derby boss Frank Lampard was sent off as his 10-man Rams side were beaten at Rotherham in the Championship.
The game came to life after a goalless first half when Tom Lawrence was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Richie Towell.
Ryan Manning put the Millers ahead soon after, firing in from the spot after a collision in the Derby penalty area.
The visitors struggled to create clear chances before Lampard was sent off for arguing with the fourth official.

Lampard was angered by the awarding of a penalty when Kyle Vassell went down in the box and by the referee's decision to only book Rotherham full-back Joe Mattock for a foul on Mason Bennett.
But he would have also been concerned by his side's failure to break down a hard-working Millers side.
Marek Rodak saved spectacularly to keep out Tom Huddlestone's fiercely hit first-half effort, while Semi Ajayi recovered to dispossess Bennett after he was played through on goal late on.
The Rams managed only four shots on target as they slipped to seventh in the table, while Rotherham climbed to 14th having made it back-to-back home league wins.
Rotherham manager Paul Warne said:
"The quality of player they've got and quality of bench they've got, it's going to be a really tough ask of the lads.
"But I've got really good coaches, we set up in a really good way to try and frustrate them and to try and counter-attack. The lads grew in confidence and really fancied it.
"Overall, I thought we were deserving of the win and we were excellent.
"If we play that well at home and really battle and scrap the way the lads had to, I think we'll be okay."
