Rotherham United midfielder Dan Barlaser has been crowned the PA Entertainments x Terrace Threads Man of the Match for his scintillating display against MK Dons on Saturday, which helped his side to a 3-0 triumph in Sky Bet League One.
Millers fans were singing chants of his name and, in the process, drawing comparisons to an Italian superstar famed for his passing range, and it was easy to understand why.
Not only did Barlaser find himself setting the tempo in an action-packed engine room, but he was also rewarded with a goal which flew straight in after a wicked delivery from a corner.
In a team performance which Millers boss Paul Warne described as ‘almost faultless’, Barlaser was chosen as the standout performer, earning himself in excess of 70% of the Twitter vote, with Michael Ihiekwe, Ollie Rathbone and Chiedozie Ogbene also nominated.

Background
This poll is supported by our friends at PA Entertainments and Terrace Threads.
PA Entertainments have been long-term supporters of the football club and were hailed for their recent work which involved them lighting up the AESSEAL New York Stadium in the colours of the NHS and more recently, with the image of a poppy for Armistice Day.
Supporters may be aware that we recently welcomed Terrace Threads on-board, who took up the option of sponsoring our newly-produced ‘Goal Gifs’ for the duration of the 2021/22 campaign.
Following discussions between the two parties, they have collaborated to give supporters an added incentive to vote for our Twitter Man of the Match Poll, with fans who cast a vote and retweet our social media poll automatically entered into a prize draw to win a £50 voucher to spend with Terrace Threads.
The PA Entertainments Man of the Match and the lucky winner of the £50 Terrace Threads voucher will be revealed on a Monday morning following a Saturday fixture or midday on the day after a midweek fixture.
The next opportunity for supporters to pick their Man of the Match is on Tuesday night when the Millers host Manchester City in the Papa John's Trophy.
