Stevenage boss Graham Westley reflected on a "sterling performance" after watching his side battle back from behind to earn a share of the spoils at high-flying Rotherham. John Mousinho's 82nd-minute strike cancelled out Nicky Law's first-half opener and Stevenage could have won it had Chris Holroyd's injury-time goal not been chalked off. Westley said: "We took the game to Rotherham, the bulk of the play in the first half was ours and I lost count of the number of corners we earned from some excellent attacking play. "Rotherham had a tough afternoon, but it was a real shock to concede just before half-time. It was a real body blow and we stuttered at the start of the second half. "But the last half hour, we got the ball down, and we were positive, penetrating and causing problems and the equaliser was terrific and I was really disappointed that we didn't get the winner. "I was really pleased with the attitude the players showed, the positivity and the desire and the fitness levels, because we were really on top of the game in the last 20 minutes."
