Doncaster claimed a big win in the lower reaches of League One as they triumphed 2-1 against Blackpool.

Goals from Owen Bailey and Hakeeb Adelakun gave Rovers a deserved comfortable margin, though the visitors pulled a goal back late on through Ashley Fletcher.

It was a scrappy affair overall with Doncaster always having the edge, and Elliot Lee and Neill Byrne drew good saves from Bailey Peacock-Farrell in the early stages.

Rovers then took the lead after 29 minutes when captain Bailey headed home from Robbie Gotts' delivery to claim his 15th goal of the season.

The game evened out after the break but Blackpool struggled for clear-cut chances until Josh Bowler lashed a strike off the upright.

Doncaster looked to have made sure of the points after 82 minutes when substitute Adelakun's angled drive beat Peacock-Farrell at his near post.

However, Fletcher flicked in from close range two minutes from time to set up a nervy finish until Fraser Horsfall was sent off for a second bookable offence to see the Seasiders finish the game with 10 men.
