Wycombe left it late but moved into the automatic promotion places with a 3-2 win at Rotherham.

The visitors had to come from a goal down, with Sky Bet League One’s top scorer Richard Kone getting his 18th of the season before Sonny Bradley and Gideon Kodua scored late on.

Mallik Wilks looked odds on to give Rotherham the lead after the break when he burst through on goal but he saw his shot bounce back off a post and into the grasp of goalkeeper Will Norris.

Rotherham made the breakthrough in the 66th minute with Louie Sibley smashing an effort in from a tight angle. Norris got a hand to it but it bounced over the line via the underside of the crossbar.

Wycombe levelled in the 69th minute with Kone powering in a header from Luke Leahy’s delivery.

Bradley put them ahead with a 90th-minute header from a corner.

The result was made safe in the second minute of stoppage time with Kodua able to power home from Kone’s pass.

There was still time for Rotherham to get one back, with Jonson Clarke-Harris tucking home a penalty in the fifth minute of added-on time after Joshua Kayode had been felled.
