Weston Super Mare 1 - 4 Doncaster Rovers: Cruise for Rovers
Posted Wednesday, November 19, 2014 by PA
Curtis Main's early goal set up a comfortable night for Doncaster as they beat non-league Weston-super-Mare 4-1 to seal an FA Cup second-round trip to Oldham.
The League One side had the ball in the net in the opening minute through Paul Keegan but referee Tim Robinson ruled the goal out after spotting an infringement in the penalty area.
Main then skewed a shot wide before stabbing in Kyle Bennett's shot in the 15th minute after the Seagulls failed to clear their lines from a corner.
Weston-super-Mare keeper Luke Purnell saved well from an unmarked Theo Robinson but after 33 minutes the striker redeemed himself to turn in the rebound from James Coppinger's shot.
The game was effectively over just before half-time when Coppinger controlled with his chest and sent a glorious volley into the top corner.
The hosts came out fighting after the break - with Ryan Bath and Dayle Grubb going close - but in the 63rd minute Bennett played through Richie Wellens who slotted in Rovers' fourth.
Purnell continued to be peppered in much part down to the lively Main, though the Seagulls got a deserved injury-time consolation through Bristol City loanee Liam Monelle.
