Nombe put his side in early control when he got on the end of Joe Rafferty\u2019s brilliant cross to sweep home from 12 yards in the 13th minute.<\/p>\n
It got even better in the 29th minute when Nombe got his second, heading home from close range after Vale goalkeeper Marko Marosi could only flap at Denzel Hall\u2019s initial header.<\/p>\n
Vale\u2019s afternoon then got worse three minutes later as Jaheim Headley was dismissed for a reckless challenge on Nombe.<\/p>\n
Vale boss Darren Moore made a triple substitution at the break and it changed the game as his side reduced their arrears on the hour as Connor Hall converted Mitch Clark\u2019s cross at the far post.<\/p>\n
Rotherham were then reduced to 10 men in the 76th minute as Zak Jules earned a second yellow card after hauling Lorent Tolaj down and the Vale onslaught ensued.<\/p>\n
The visitors piled on the pressure in the closing stages and thought they had a leveller deep into time added on as Tolaj hit the post from an acute angle as the Millers survived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nombe put his side in early control when he got on the end of Joe Rafferty\u2019s brilliant cross…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,393,4884,1620,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-312345","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-sheffield","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114960130547220149","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
