Doncaster moved their unlikely play-off push into overdrive with an eighth consecutive win as they triumphed 4-0 against Accrington.
Goals from Hakeeb Adelakun, Joe Ironside, James Maxwell and Owen Bailey saw Rovers extend their best winning run for 77 years and move within a point of League Two's top seven, despite facing relegation danger at the start of February.
Adelakun fired Doncaster ahead on five minutes after racing onto a ball over the top from Joseph Olowu.
Ironside doubled the advantage on 21 minutes when he met Adelakun's low centre with a first-time strike from 10 yards.
Accrington struggled for opportunities with only Alex Henderson testing Rovers keeper Thimothee Lo-Tutala in the first half.
