Stockport boost top-six hopes and pile on the misery for Doncaster

Stockport sealed a 4-2 win against lowly Doncaster as they strengthened their grip on a play-off spot in Sky Bet League One.

Luke Molyneux opened the scoring for the visitors as he latched on to a terrific, raking pass from Jay McGrath and finished with aplomb.

The hosts were quickly offered a route back into the game when Jack Senior fouled Kyle Wootton inside the area to concede a penalty. Skipper Oliver Norwood then stepped up and fired home to level the scores.

The tables were then turned on the hour mark when Kyle Wootton fired home from close range after visiting goalkeeper Ian Lawlor made a terrific save to keep out Jack Diamond’s initial attempt.

But Rovers fought back and after Jordan Gibson saw a shot come back off a post, skipper Owen Bailey made it 2-2 with a brilliant side-footed effort straight from a corner.

There was more drama to come though, as Wootton scored his second and the hosts’ third when he connected with Ethan Pye’s excellent cross into the box and headed past a rooted Lawlor.

There was still time for a late fourth, with Senior credited with an own goal as Rovers fell to a fifth straight loss.
