Doncaster Rovers took a giant step towards the League Two play-off final as goals from Luke Molyneux and Harrison Biggins in either half secured a 2-0 victory over Crewe Alexandra a the Mornflake Stadium.
Molyneux finished off a sweeping move to give Grant McCann’s side the lead (34) and Biggins pounced on a mistake by Mickey Demetriou to double Rovers’ advantage just three minutes into the second half.
Biggins was immediately forced off the field with a suspected hamstring injury and will be assessed ahead of the second leg on Friday, live on Sky Sports.
Chris Long missed Crewe’s best chance late on when he flicked a header over but following a fourth straight home defeat, all the momentum is with Doncaster, with the winners facing either Crawley or MK Dons at Wembley on Sunday May 19.
