LIVE: Doncaster Rovers 1 Peterborough United 4
51min OFF THE BAR JAMES COPPINGER
A free kick in a great position, there was only one man who was going to take it.
And James Coppinger curls a beauty on goal that rattles off the bar.
Would have been some moment, in spite of the scoreline.
12.54pm That’s the break
And that was absolutely awful from a Rovers perspective.
So feeble in defence, disorganised and so easy to pick off. Peterborough have been rampant and Rovers have barely got out of bed.
Embarrassing
45min Close...again
Ricky-Jade Jones just fired millimetres wide of the upright after Peterborough strolled through the Rovers side yet again.
39min GOAL Peterborough
Ricky-Jade Jones gets in on the act for the fourth goal and, yet again, it is so, so easy for the visitors.
Ethan Hamilton strode through the middle under no pressure from the Rovers midfield and slid in a pass to Jones, who spun off in between Tom Anderson and Brad Halliday, set himself and finished well.
Rovers are being torn to shreds.
