Saturday 24 October 2020 19:05, UK
A Harry Pickering free-kick saw Crewe Alexandra end Doncaster's good form with a 2-1 triumph at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Charlie Kirk put Crewe ahead in the first half, with Southampton loanee Josh Sims equalising in quickfire fashion for Rovers.
The visitors started the better and it took a brilliant block on the line from Tom Anderson to prevent Tom Lowery from volleying Crewe in front.
Doncaster grew into the game, with Sims forcing a fine save from Will Jaaskelainen.
A lively game ignited further in the space of two minutes after Kirk gave Crewe a 26th minute lead. Callum Ainley slid a pass out wide which Kirk collected and finished superbly past Josef Bursik.
