Matthew Olosunde tipped to shine by Rotherham boss

ROTHERHAM UNITED right-back Matthew Olosunde was the standout player in his side’s FA Cup Third Round tie at Everton on Saturday.

The 22-year-old impressed throughout, bringing Rotherham back into the game with an equaliser in the second half which cancelled out Cenk Tosun’s early strike for the hosts.

It was hardly a smash-and-grab goal for Rotherham, either, as they had been putting pressure on Carlo Ancelotti’s Blues towards the end of the first half.
