Doncaster   3 - 1   Peterborough

Doncaster 3-1 Peterborough

Doncaster earned a first victory in eight matches by beating Peterborough.

Billy Sharp blasted in the opener from close range for the home side after a Dean Shiels shot had been saved.

Shiels added a second by rifling in a shot after a Rovers counter-attack but Aaron Mclean pulled one back for Posh when he headed in a Tommy Rowe cross.

Posh wanted a penalty for a perceived handball from a McLean shot before Jason Shackell nodded in late on to secure the win for the home side.

Doncaster boss Sean O'Driscoll:

"Every point in this division is precious, so to get three is pleasing.

"We've played much better than that and not got anything out of the game so it's a crazy division.

"We started off a little bit nervously but then we had a purple patch where we scored two goals."

Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson:
"I'm the manager and I've got to take full responsibility for the results we've had and I do.

"The players have got to start taking responsibility for the performances as well. But as a group this is nowhere near good enough. We've played 13 games. We've had one win.

"You don't have to be a genius to work that out, it's nowhere near good enough. It's got to change and it's got to change quick, I'm fully aware of that."
