Swansea City got their promotion push back on track thanks to goals from Dennis Lawrence and Jason Scotland.

Lawrence broke the deadlock after converting Tom Butler's 72nd-minute free-kick.

Scotland doubled the lead six minutes later from the spot after Febian Brandy was fouled by Byron Anthony.

Rovers could not capitalise when Brandy was later sent off for a foul on Danny Coles and the Swans took their lead at the top of League One to nine points.
