Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Doncaster and Sunderland.

Sunderland secured some respite for under-fire boss Phil Parkinson as they ended their nine-match winless run with a 2-1 win at Doncaster.

Goals from Lynden Gooch and Chris Maguire secured a well-deserved win with the Black Cats much the better side throughout.

Jon Taylor had grabbed an equaliser for Doncaster before the break.

Sunderland took the lead on six minutes when the Doncaster defence failed to react to a quick free-kick, allowing Gooch to curl in superbly from the edge of the box.

The visitors were dictating a frenetic pace and could easily have added to their score with Charlie Wyke drawing a trio of fine saves from Doncaster keeper Seny Dieng.

Doncaster struck against the run of play to equalise on 40 minutes. Taylor surged onto a low ball from Kieran Sadlier and powered a shot past Jon McLaughlin.

Sunderland started the second half the brighter and went back in front on 61 minutes when Maguire - who had earlier hit the bar from a free-kick - lashed in from 15 yards.
