Doncaster Rovers got their League Two promotion push back on track with a deserved 4-2 victory at Fleetwood Town.
A frantic first half saw five goals scored, with Rovers taking the lead on three separate occasions after the hosts twice drew level.
The visitors went in front in the 13th minute when Joe Ironside picked out Kyle Hurst a few yards out. He composed himself before crashing the ball home via the underside of the crossbar.
Against the run of play Fleetwood levelled up matters 11 minutes before half-time as Mark Helm bundled home after a quick counter-attack despite Rovers claims of offside in the build-up.
Rovers wrestled back the lead five minutes later when Owen Bailey applied a firm, stooping header to Jay McGrath’s cross.
Fleetwood restored parity again when Ryan Graydon finished coolly three minutes later, but Billy Sharp finished off a fine, sweeping move to put Doncaster back ahead on the brink of half-time.
The second half was much more low-key but Jay McGrath’s 68th-minute header found the net after taking a nick off Rhys Bennett to kill off any further comeback as Rovers held out for their first league win in four games.
