A hard watch but it’s job done for Rovers. Another win on the road.

They hardly created a chance but stuck to the task tonight and got their reward.

Four minutes to be added on.

Big chance for Marquis but he’s crowded out.

Scully’s shot is blocked by Younger.

This could get a bit nervy. Lincoln going route one now.

Rowe tries his luck from distance but it goes well wide.

Lincoln trying to muster a response but they’re being frustrated by Rovers.
