Doncaster leave it late for victory at Bristol Rovers
Posted Sunday, January 12, 2020 by PA
Late goals from Ben Whiteman and substitute Rakish Bingham gave Doncaster a 2-0 League One victory over Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium.
Whiteman ran onto a defence-splitting ball after 86 minutes and advanced to drill a low left-footed shot past Jordi Van Stappershoef from just inside the box.
Then during five minutes of stoppage time, Bingham made the points safe with a fine right-footed curler from 20 yards.
Defences had dominated, with Tom Anderson and Joe Wright in strong form for the visitors. It took Rovers 72 minutes to register a shot on target.
The home side’s best chance fell to Jonson Clarke-Harris after 85 minutes, but he could only head wide from a Luke Leahy cross.
Neither goalkeeper had a save of note to make in a first half devoid of goalmouth action. Jon Taylor was prominent on the right flank for Doncaster and had a 39th-minute shot deflected for a corner.
Doncaster dominated possession, while lacking a cutting edge until their late flourish.
