Joe Ironside and Hakeeb Adelakun both got on the scoresheet for the hosts, before Isaac Hutchinson reduced the deficit with a free-kick in second-half stoppage time.

Doncaster closed the gap behind Walsall to just one point, although Mat Sadler’s men remain ninth-place and three points adrift of the top seven with four games left.

“It’s not going to be decided tonight whether we make the play-offs or not. We’ve got four more games,” the midfielder declared.
