Doncaster manager Rob Jones said:
“In the second half, we were much more positive. We gave away a sloppy goal, but we reacted from that and I thought for the last half an hour, we were magnificent and I thought we controlled it.
“We played the vast majority of the last half an hour in their half and got two great goals, with a first Football League goal for Keshi (Anderson) which was terrific and he took it very, very well and then we got the penalty and it was a great finish by Willo (Andy Williams).
“Dany N’Guessan could have made it three and it would have been game over.
“They were hanging on at the end and the disappointing side of it is that we were done by a set-piece and we are normally big and strong and resilient at set-pieces.
“There were some disappointing faces in the dressing room, as you’d expect. But football does that to you sometimes.
