Gavin Reilly scores his first Bristol Rovers goal in win over Coventry
Posted Sunday, September 23, 2018 by PA
Gavin Reilly netted his first goal for Bristol Rovers to set them on course for a 3-1 League One victory over Coventry at the Memorial Stadium.
The home side went ahead after seven minutes when Reilly, a summer signing from St Mirren, latched onto a poor defensive header and coolly rolled a left-footed shot past Lee Burge, having advanced into the box.
Coventry had started well but were 2-0 down after 19 minutes. Poor defending at a Chris Lines free-kick allowed Tom Lockyer to net his third goal of the season with a downward header, the ball slipping through Burge’s hands on the wet pitch.
An Ollie Clarke screamer from outside the area in the 23rd minute made it 3-0 but just before the break Dom Hyam gave Coventry hope by rising to head in a Michael Doyle free-kick.
Rovers looked the more likely scorers in the second half and Burge made good saves from Stuart Sinclair and substitute Alex Jakubiak.
