Fejiri Okenabirhie struck after eight minutes to put Doncaster in front but the away side were pegged back by the division's bottom club when Lucas Akins scored from the penalty spot on 44 minutes.

Just before the hour, Taylor Richards wrapped up the points for the visitors as he curled an effort inside the post.
