Doncaster scored two late goals to beat Rochdale and earn their fifth away victory of the season in League One.

Theo Robinson headed in a corner and Curtis Main flicked home the clincher after they twice hit the woodwork following Matt Done's sending off.

The Rochdale forward was shown a straight red card for a foul on Doncaster's James Coppinger.

Done had put Rochdale in front early on with a diving header, but Kyle Bennett shot low into the corner to level.

Doncaster generally carried the greater threat going forward and missed a number of chances before Done's dismissal gave them a numerical advantage.

It looked like Rochdale might hold out when Nathan Tyson headed against the bar and Bennett struck the post with a shot, but the pressure told when Robinson's first touch after replacing Paul Keegan put them in front for the first time.

The win lifted Doncaster one place to 16th in the table, with Rochdale slipping two to ninth, three points outside the play-off places.

Rochdale manager Keith Hill told 91Èȱ¬ Radio Manchester:

"It was going to be a difficult game even though we went 1-0 to the advantage.

"They caused us problems all afternoon.

"It was a wrestle and it was going to continue to be a wrestle but obviously when we went down to 10 men it was very difficult for us."

Doncaster manager Paul Dickov told 91Èȱ¬ Radio Sheffield:

"We got off to the worst possible start, conceding and then after that I thought the boys were fantastic.

"Even when it was eleven versus eleven, we played football, we created.

"We had as many chances as I could remember in a game and it would have been a crying shame if we hadn't won the game."
