A great game for the neutrals but Rotherham fans might feel rather hard done by after they valiantly battled back to equalise, only to see a point slip away thanks to Sam Vokes.
Gary Smee's match report from tonight's game can be found here.
We'll be back again on Saturday afternoon for more Championship live text commentary when Wolves take on Huddersfield (12:30 BST kick-off).
Until then thank you for joining us and goodnight.
FT: Rotherham 1-2 Burnley
Burnley striker Sam Vokes told Sky Sports:
"I tried to catch it as sweet as I can but it was nice to get back to winning ways tonight.
"It's a tough place to come and they've put some good results together here but it's great to get three points.
"It's going to be tight up there, we know how strong this league is and it's great to get the points on the board tonight."

FT: Rotherham 1-2 Burnley
Burnley striker Andre Gray told Sky Sports:
"It was always going to be a tough game with Rotherham losing their manager and all their players had a lot to prove.
"It was even tougher when they got a goal back but we managed to nick it in the end.
"We have a long way to go with a lot of the season left."
FULL-TIME
Rotherham 1-2 Burnley
Well that's that and Burnley have taken all three points from the New York Stadium - their first win away at Rotherham since January 1993.
After George Boyd and Andre Gray combined to give Burnley a ninth-minute lead, Grant Ward restored parity in superb fashion with a fantastic strike.
Sean Dyche's men produced a fantastic response but Lee Camp will feel unlucky to concede a scrappy goal so soon afterwards.
Burnley move up to third whilst Rotherham slip a place to 21st.
YELLOW CARD

HALF-TIME
Rotherham 0-1 Burnley
Football's a funny old game, isn't it? A rather deceiving scoreline at the break as Burnley could be about 3-0 up but that's not to say the hosts have disgraced themselves at all. Ever since Andre Gray broke the deadlock after nine minutes, Rotherham have fought to get themselves back into the game.
We could be in for an exciting second half in south Yorkshire.
Rotherham 0-1 Burnley
Tom Heaton is called into action as a long ball works its way to Matt Derbyshire who strikes from the edge of the 18 yard line, but the Burnley keeper parries it away for a corner.

Rotherham 0-1 Burnley
Eric Black will be fairly encouraged by the effort he's seen from his Rotherham side since they went a goal down.
But they're struggling to create anything clear cut. That will be the main concern.
It's summed up by Tony Andreu who gets into a good crossing position but can't find anyone in the box.
