On-loan Blues frontman Kieffer Moore netted a first-half hat-trick as Rotherham smashed Southend 5-0 in League One.

The 25-year-old striker scored in the 15th and 16th minutes before completing his treble in first-half injury time.

Moore came on as a 68th minute sub in last week’s 2-0 defeat at Fleetwood before making his first start in the Carabao Cup win against Lincoln on Tuesday.

Blues right-back Josh Emmanuel, 20, has started all three of this season's games for the Millers.

Moore, like Emmanuel on loan at the New York Stadium for the season, is now joint-top scorer in League One with his three goals, along with ex-Blues striker Jack Marriott, who netted a hat-trick of his own in Peterborough’s 4-1 win at Bristol Rovers. Another former Blue, defender Steven Taylor, scored the other Posh goal.

Sam added 07:52 - Aug 14 This shows what level Moore should play at. The Championship was too much for him so he needs to show more performances like the hat- trick. Well done lad.
