Doncaster 0-1 Shrewsbury Shrews edge Rovers
Saturday 5 March 2016 20:50, UK
Shrewsbury clinched a vital 1-0 victory in their bid to avoid relegation leaving fellow strugglers Doncaster without a win in their last 10 games.
A freak goal from Shaun Whalley clinched the game in the 63rd minute when he scored direct from an inswinging corner which flew in at the near post.
Rovers were by far the better side in the first half but could not make their pressure count as they failed to find the net for the third time in the last four games.
Visiting keeper Jayson Leutwiler did well to save from Luke McCullough and Lynden Gooch before distinguishing himself again to deny Andy Butler.
Shrewsbury's attempts at goal were few and far between but they came out with a real purpose in the second half to turn the tables with Whalley's decisive strike.
