Rotherham United,West Bromwich Albion,Penalty Decision

Rotherham United's final game of the season against West Bromwich Albion was marred by a controversial penalty decision that changed the outcome of the game. Despite already being relegated, Rotherham United showed determination and scored two goals, but a penalty awarded to West Bromwich Albion due to a mistaken handball call left the fans frustrated.

With the Millers already relegated, there was only pride to play for against the Baggies and goals from Brandon Thomas-Asante and John Swift extended the club’s dismal run. However, the absence of jeopardy did little to ease Richardson’s frustrations post-match. Swift scored West Brom’s second from the penalty spot after Lee Peltier was judged to have handled the ball in the penalty area.
