Doncaster 3-1 Crewe: Leaders Doncaster Rovers see off Crewe
Saturday 21 January 2017 18:49, UK
Doncaster ran out 3-1 winners for the third consecutive game as they swept past strugglers Crewe.
Goals from Conor Grant, John Marquis and Tommy Rowe helped Doncaster to a sixth win in seven matches to strengthen their place at the top of the Sky Bet League Two table.
Grant slammed in from 25 yards with 22 minutes on the clock to put Doncaster in front and it only looked like being one-way traffic.
But Crewe surged back and grabbed a deserved equaliser when James Jones slammed in after Rovers keeper Ian Lawlor had saved superbly from Chris Dagnall.
Doncaster were indebted to Lawlor for keeping the scores level heading into the break as he saved from new signing Jordan Bowery and Jones.
