65 Better from Rovers

A couple of decent attacks from Rovers with good quick play as players link up.

First, one-touch passing put Ed Williams in space on the edge of the area but his ball through to Tiago Cukur was a little too heavy.

Shortly after, Matt Smith intercepted a ball 20 yards out, turned and lashed a shot which Wes Foderingham held well.
