Doncaster Rovers 2-1 Swindon Town
- Published
Reece James scored twice as Doncaster picked up a third straight league victory by beating 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 the Robins 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.
Doncaster doubled their advantage after 72 minutes when James collected a long pass from Ben Whiteman and fired home.
Jaiyesimi fired in from the spot after he was fouled by Andy Butler but it was the last act of the game.
