Doncaster clinched a 3-0 victory against Carlisle, who are fighting against relegation, to maintain control of their chances for automatic promotion in League Two.

Owen Bailey, Jordan Gibson and Harry Clifton scored the goals that secured the win for Doncaster, while pushing Carlisle further down the table, now trailing by nine points with only seven matches left.

Although Carlisle showed promise early on, it was Doncaster who broke the deadlock in the 36th minute with a goal from Bailey, set up by a play from Gibson.

Doncaster dominated the second half, with Gibson adding another goal in the 68th minute, and Clifton sealing the victory just five minutes after entering the field in the 73rd minute.

Following this result, Doncaster is sitting just one point below the automatic promotion spots, with a game still in hand compared to their competitors.
