Doncaster Rovers v Everton Under-21s
Chance!
Bobby Faulkner sprints upfield and almost takes the ball to the byline before cutting it back for Louie Marsh, who sees his low effort kept out by the legs of Crellin.
Good defending from Faulkner
He gets his head to Katia Kouyate’s goalbound strike which looked to be bending past Louis Jones and diverts it over the bar for a corner.
A word on Bobby Faulkner
He’s in a battle against Everton’s best attacker so far in Katia Kouyate. The forward has got the better of him once or twice already and is by far and away the visitors’ biggest threat in this half.
Chance!
Sotona takes the free-kick and Billy Crellin is at full stretch to keep it out. Keeper straight back on his feet to stop Joseph Olowu pouncing on the rebound.
Much better from Sotona
He tracks back and wins the ball back not far from his own box then carries it about 50 yards, riding a challenge or two, and finds Tyler Roberts, who wins a foul in a shooting position. Ben Close standing over it.
Poor from Sotona
He loses the ball trying to take a man on inside his own half then lets the same player drift past him and get a cross away. A little bit of naivety there.
Stunning play
Rovers hit the bar through Deji Sotona. Move started with an exceptional pass from George Broadbent following good play by Louie Marsh, which released Tyler Roberts. His cross was diverted towards Sotona by Tommy Rowe but his effort comes back off the bar.
