Manager Paul Warne wasn’t surprised Rotherham United’s late winner against Wycombe Wanderers came from a set-piece but believes improvement is still needed to find sustained success in the Championship this season.

Wycombe had marginally the better chances at Adams Park but in second-half stoppage time, Michael Ihiekwe rose highest to head home Joe Mattock’s corner and give the Millers a 1-0 victory.

Both teams excelled at set-pieces en route to promotion from League One last season and Warne believes it was fitting a corner made the difference on the opening day.

He said: “I’m pleased to get off to a win. It was a really competitive game with both teams going for it.
