Game over.

Sixth tier King’s Lynn run out deserved winners here.

Rovers left red-faced. Precious little composure, precious little quality. Apart from a little spell in the second half, following the substitutions, Rovers were second best.

An embarrassing afternoon.

Five minutes to be added on.

Molyneux picks out Agard but he fires over from close range.

Oxlade-Chamberlain bursts forward and almost makes it two.

The visitors have got their goal.

A long throw is headed home by Omotayo.

No one can say they haven’t deserved it.

Miller this time finds space but his effort is saved.

The momentum has swung.

Hurst lets fly from 20 yards and it strikes the bar!

Miles better from the home team.

Better from Rovers in the last few minutes.

Molyneux is getting on the ball in the final third. He bursts into the box and sees a shot blocked by Denton.

Rovers have forced a couple of corners!

Miller’s flicked header, easily saved, is the home team’s first effort on goal.

Another big let-off as Faulkner is robbed of the ball in a dangerous area but Mitchell keeps out Barrett’s shot.

Clayton and Molyneux on for Biggins and Taylor

Williams with a vital block to keep out Barrett’s goalbound shot.

Well, that was a humbling experience.

King’s Lynn by far the better team but they haven’t been able to make it count on the scoresheet.
