Two stunning strikes from Ben Close, one in either half, helped topple the Gills from the summit of the fourth-tier table and give Rovers their third win in as many matches.

Several players caught the eye as Doncaster produced another strong team performance to get win.

Here’s our ratings.

Made several good saves to deny Gillingham in the first half. Little chance with the equalising goal, which came down to poor defending.
