Bristol Rovers 0-2 Doncaster: Visitors leave it late to see off Rovers

Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Bristol Rovers and Doncaster.

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.
