Rovers see off Luton for overdue win
Posted Sunday, September 09, 2018 by PA
Goals from Matty Blair and Ben Whiteman helped Doncaster to a first win in seven matches as they overcame Luton 2-1.
Much of the pressure came from visitors Luton, who equalised once through Elliot Lee but could not find another.
Blair opened the scoring for Doncaster with a superb individual effort just six minutes in. Starting from halfway, he surged forward before slamming a superb shot into the far corner from the edge of the box.
Luton responded well and piled on the pressure with Lee, James Collins and Jorge Grant all going close to drawing them level.
But the visitors did manage a deserved equaliser in first-half stoppage time when Lee headed in from close range from a Dan Potts knock-back.
Doncaster halted the Luton momentum just 35 seconds into the second half. A shot from Blair was blocked out only as far as Whiteman, whose low strike from 20 yards found the corner via a deflection.
Luton again had the more threatening play with chances for Potts and Pelly Ruddock but they could not break Doncaster’s resolve.
