It was an eventful night for Carlton Morris, as the Norwich City striker scored his third goal of the season for loan club Rotherham but also missed a penalty.
The 23-year-old, who is under contract at Norwich until 2021, played the full 90 minutes as the Millers won 3-2 at home to Doncaster in the EFL Trophy.
Morris played the full match and equalised with a tidy finish for the hosts in the 67th minute but missed a penalty soon after, only for Trevor Clarke to ensure Rotherham got the win.
It was a third goal of the season for the 2013 FA Youth Cup winner, in his 11th appearance of the campaign, helping to keep his loan side's hopes of qualification for the knockout stages alive.
Louis Thompson also completed an hour as Shrewsbury won 3-0 at home to Newcastle United Under-21s. The midfielder - similarly to Morris - is on his way back from long-term injury problems and being eased back into regular action at League One level.
