BURNLEY 2-0 DONCASTER ROVERS

Burnley increase the pressure on the leaders Leicester City with a 2-0 win against Doncaster Rovers on a cold Lancashire night.

Doncaster started off the better side after Mark Duffy's curling shot hit the bar.Junior Stanislas then tested Sam Johnstone on the goalkeeper's 21st birthday.

On thirty-five minutes,Jones made Johnstone spill a loose ball to find Vokes in the box.Superb reflexes kept the scores at 0-0 much to Paul Dickov's delight at half-time.

Two minutes after kicking off,Burnley were awarded a penalty for a foul on Sam Vokes.VOKES took it and scored from the spot to break the deadlock.

Burnley kept creating chances and stopped Doncaster completely.Stanislas tested Johnstone with a low shot and with thirty-one minutes left,Michael Duff headed a stray ball over the bar.

JUNIOR STANISLAS doubled the lead to make the score more comfortable.Fifteen minutes left,and he slot under the goalkeeper.

The last real chance fell to Billy Sharp but he missed the target.

VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

DONCASTER STRIKER CHRIS BROWN
"The gaffer has seen the replay of the penalty incident and still can't quite understand why it was awarded."

"He's spoken to the referee about his decision making in the second half and has explained his views on why it shouldn't have been given."

"The penalty boosted their momentum and that's why they won."
