Doncaster striker Paul Heffernan netted in the third minute to give his side a 1-0 win over Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium and help them move second in League One.

The result means Doncaster leapfrog Carlisle, who defeated Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Monday night.

Andrew Crofts (four, 76) scored twice for Gillingham - but his side remain in trouble in the relegation zone after a 4-2 away defeat to Brighton.

The Gills were reduced to nine men after Sean Clohessy and Garry Richards were sent off - while Nicky Forster (23), Adam El-Abd (43), Tommy Elphick (45) and Jake Robinson (78) found the net for the home side.

Elsewhere, Michael Mackay (74) gave Hartlepool a 1-0 surprise win over Oldham - and Swindon were reduced to nine men but held on to claim a 3-2 win over Huddersfield at the County Ground.

A fourth-minute strike from Billy Paynter and two from Craig Easton (23, 31) put the Robins in control - but two penalties from Phil Jevons (39, 77) pulled the visitors back into contention.

Lee Peacock and Paynter were both sent off but Swindon held on.
