<p>Rotherham interim manager Paul Warne apologised for their "embarrassing" 5-0 Sky Bet Championship defeat at Cardiff.</p>
<p>Goals from Kadeem Harris, Junior Hoilett, Craig Noone and a Kenneth Zohore brace gave the Bluebirds their biggest win since a 6-0 victory over Bristol City in 2010.</p>
<p>It leaves Rotherham, who were without the ineligible duo Semi Ajayi and Tom Adeyemi against their parent club, rooted to the foot of the table and 15 points from safety.</p>
<p>Relegation to League One is looking increasingly likely for the Millers and Warne pulled no punches in his assessment of their latest performance.</p>

<p>He said: "We knew what Neil Warnock's Cardiff were all about with their corners and long throws. So I was hoping my players would be man enough to defend them.</p>
<p>"Coming into this game, with the players we had missing, I was more hopeful rather than expectant of a result.</p>
<p>"But to get drummed like that was embarrassing for the club. The fans don't deserve that and I played a part in it so I apologise.</p>
<p>"Realistically we know where we are. But it's my job to prepare the team and hopefully give the fans something to be proud of."</p>
<p>The Millers failed to deal with Aron Gunnarsson's long throw and the ball fell to Harris who curled his effort past Richard O'Donnell in the 11th minute.</p>
<p>And when Hoilett doubled their lead thanks to a disastrous back pass from Ben Purrington, the game was all but over.</p>
<p>Warnock's men added a third strike in the 49th minute after Noone volleyed home Harris' looping cross.</p>
<p>Zohore then got in on the act with a second-half double to compound Rotherham's misery.</p>
<p>Despite a third successive win for Cardiff, boss Neil Warnock could not fully enjoy it against his former club.</p>
<p>Warnock took the Millers on an 11-game unbeaten run which saved them from the drop last term.</p>
<p>He said: "I was glad to see the second goal go in at half-time and even more happy to see the third one go in because I knew that was the killer.</p>
<p>"I didn't feel good about the game with it being my old club and the situation they're in.</p>
<p>"I've been there and I know how difficult it can be. So I do wish Rotherham well."</p>
<p>One negative for Cardiff, who stay 12th, was a serious-looking injury to Rhys Healey. The young striker was stretchered off just before half-time.</p>
<p>Warnock added: "Rhys Healey's injury soured everything really. We think he's done both his ligaments, which would be a major blow for him."</p>
