Port Vale boosted their narrow survival hopes with a 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Rotherham United.

Fresh off the back of a 7-0 defeat at Chelsea to end their memorable FA Cup run, Port Vale welcome Rotherham to Vale Park, knowing time is running out if they're to avoid relegation back to the fourth tier.

In a battle between two sides in the Sky Bet League One relegation zone, the bottom side took an early lead.

Ryan Croasdale, back in the side after a spell on the sidelines with injury, broke the deadlock with just over five minutes gone, rifling home a tidy strike from the edge of the box.

Rotherham searched for a response, but clear-cut chances were hard to come by, with Joe Gauci in the Port Vale goal left untested for the most part.

The Millers are now 11 points from safety and have lost their last six away league games, with Port Vale picking up a second home league win in succession.
