League Two: Doncaster Rovers v Colchester United LIVE

It was a great second half performance, with goals from Mo Faal and Joe Ironside putting Rovers firmly back in control.

There's the full time whistle! Doncaster Rovers return to winning ways!

Seven minutes added on here.

3-1

The penalty is hammered home by Joe Ironside!! Surely the three points are wrapped up?!

3-1

Rovers have a glorious chance to put this game to bed!

2-1

Substiute Luke Molyneux forces Smith into a sprawling save to his right.

2-1

Shot from long range is parried away by Jones. Is this the start of a late spell of pressure from the visitors?

2-1

Rovers are back in front! A curled cross from the left is superbly headed into the bottom corner by Faal.

2-1

GOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!

Olowu is now booked for a challenge on halfway.

1-1

Tom Smith steams out of his goal and collides with Faal outside the box. Just a yellow for the U's keeper.

1-1

Intricate. That's the word. Donny don't go for goal, instead they play a couple of delicate passes before getting the ball into the box before it goes out of play.

1-1

The free kick is swung in but there is a foul off the ball and Rovers have another set piece just outside the box. What a chance this is for Rovers to regain the lead.

1-1

Tasty start to the second half with a few tackles going in. One too many for the referee's liking though and a United player - Mitchell - enters the book.

1-1

Rovers get the second half under way, kicking from left to right as we see it in the West Stand.

1-1

Rovers took the lead in the 33rd minute after Jack Senior's corner went in off the unfortunate Zach Mitchell. But immediately after Senior was subbed off after sustaining an injury earlier in the half, Joseph Taylor levelled for Colchester. The visitors could have even led by the end of the half but Louis Jones produced a brilliant double save to deny Taylor and Mitchell.
