Gillingham 1-3 Doncaster: Rovers close on L1 play-offs
Saturday 29 December 2018 18:17, UK
John Marquis scored against his former club to give Doncaster Rovers a 3-1 victory over Gillingham.
Marquis hit his 16th goal of the season after 28 minutes when his deflected shot from close range crept past Gills goalkeeper Tomas Holy.
Only a scuffed shot from the Rovers striker following Herbie Kane's short corner prevented him from making it 2-0 in first half stoppage time.
On-loan striker Mallik Wilks, who threatened throughout for the visitors, capitalised on a mix-up between Holy and Connor Ogilvie to double their advantage nine minutes after the break.
Grant McCann's side sealed their sixth away league victory of the season when Danny Andrew's 20-yard volley - his first in the league for the Yorkshire club - beat an unsighted Holy.
Having beaten league leaders Portsmouth on Boxing Day, the Gills managed just one shot on goal before Callum Reilly's deflected consolation goal two minutes from time.
