Doncaster 2-1 Swindon: Reece James double fires Rovers to victory
Tuesday 15 December 2020 23:08, UK
Reece James scored twice as Doncaster picked up a third straight league victory with a 2-1 win over Swindon.
Diallang Jaiyesimi grabbed a late penalty for Swindon, who rallied late on but fell to a fourth successive defeat.
It was an open start to the game and Jonny Smith missed a glorious opportunity to put Swindon ahead on the half hour when he fired over the bar from a good position.
Doncaster began to take control and Danny Amos drew a superb save from Manchester United loanee Matej Kovar with a curling effort from 25 yards before the goalkeeper got in the way of a James Coppinger effort on the stroke of half-time.
But Rovers did break the deadlock after 47 minutes. Mere seconds after Swindon saw a penalty claim turned down, Josh Sims fed a ball into the box which rolled through to James who rifled past Kovar.
