Doncaster 1-3 Sheffield Wednesday: Wednesday strike back to ease past hosts in charge towards top six
Saturday 19 February 2022 19:29, UK
Sheffield Wednesday came from behind to beat Doncaster 3-1 and continue their climb towards League One’s top six with a fifth win in six league matches.
A Dan Gardner penalty had given struggling Rovers the lead but Wednesday roared back with goals from Callum Paterson, Saido Berahino and Barry Bannan, who also saw a penalty saved.
It was a cagey first half with few chances for either side.
Rovers broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time when Gardner smashed the ball in from the spot after Kyle Knoyle had been tripped by Massimo Luongo just inside the box.
Joseph Olowu missed a glorious chance to double Rovers' lead after the break and it was punished when Paterson headed in at the second attempt to equalise after 70 minutes.
