Tyrese Shade's goal enabled Burton to battle back from behind to earn a deserved 1-1 draw at Doncaster in Sky Bet League One.
The hosts were much the stronger team in the first half but only had Matty Pearson's header to show for their efforts.
And it proved costly as Burton were a side transformed after the break and found an equaliser from substitute Shade.
Charlie Webster hit the bar as Burton showed their threat on the break but Doncaster were well on top before the interval.
