Doncaster secured a fourth consecutive win with a 3-0 derby victory over Scunthorpe.
Early goals from Ben Whiteman and Herbie Kane put Rovers in control and they never looked likely to let it slip, with John Marquis' late strike condemning the Iron to an eighth defeat from 11 league matches.
Doncaster got off to a stunning start when Whiteman smashed a lay-off from Mallik Wilks over the head of goalkeeper Jak Alnwick via a slight deflection with just six minutes on the clock.
And four minutes later the lead was extended when Kane chased down the ball and clipped a shot over the onrushing Alnwick.
Whiteman, Wilks and James Coppinger all had good chances as Rovers looked set to run riot, but the tempo of their play dropped by the mid-point of the half.
The second half was a scrappy affair with Scunthorpe's Matty Lund drawing a good save from Ian Lawlor with the visitors' best chance.
But Marquis rubber-stamped the victory for Doncaster with five minutes left when he broke clear and slotted past Alnwick.
