The story of how Doncaster Rovers were left shell-shocked by Salford City

Superb play from Ben Close to break free of several challenges and release Harrison Biggins, who tries to catch Alex Cairns off his line with a dipping effort. The keeper gets a touch to tip it over the bar. Rovers denied a brilliant goal.

Luke Molyneux cuts inside and sees a shot at goal blocked for a corner. Still only eight minutes gone. Does seem very quiet in here tonight.

Big Matt Smith scores with a downward header after a very quick start from the visitors.

He’s the real Slim Shady! Wait until you see his new haircut...

Doncaster lad Alex Cairns starts in goal for Salford.

Good evening and welcome to the Eco-Power Stadium for tonight’s game. There’s a sense of anticipation about tonight following back-to-back wins for Doncaster, who continue to steadily climb the League Two table.

Tonight’s opposition have also not had the start to the season they wanted after reaching the play-offs last term but snatched a late point at home to high-flying Swindon on Saturday to stop themselves from slipping to consecutive defeats. They have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three matches, so you might say the Red Devils are a little vulnerable at present.

It could be a good time for Doncaster to capitalise on that.
