Jonson Clarke-Harris effort enough as Bristol Rovers edge Gillingham
Posted Wednesday, March 13, 2019 by PA
Bristol Rovers moved up to 16th in League One after Jonson Clarke-Harris’ sixth goal in five league games earned them a 1-0 victory at Gillingham.
Clarke-Harris brilliantly fired into the top corner from 25 yards approaching the hour to earn Graham Coughlan’s side their third-consecutive league win.
Rovers’ January signing had earlier missed his side’s best chance of the first half, heading wide at the far post after rising highest to meet Tom Nichols’ deep cross, also nodding an effort straight to Gills goalkeeper Tomas Holy from Ed Upson’s free-kick two minutes after the break.
Brandon Hanlan squandered Gillingham’s only effort on target as he tamely shot at Jack Bonham when through on goal after 48 minutes.
Stand-in captain Max Ehmer volleyed into the side netting after latching on to Luke O’Neill’s corner and Tom Eaves’ drive on the turn was brilliantly blocked by Ollie Clarke.
Defeat for the Gills leaves the Kent club just three points above the relegation zone.
