The best photos as Rovers exit the Papa John's Trophy at Crewe Alexandra.
A Ben Knight thunderbolt and an Oli Finney header saw Rovers bow out of the Papa John’s Trophy with a 2-0 defeat to Crewe Alexandra.
Rovers had the best of the play in the first half but for all their possession, passing and positioning, it was the home side who led at the break thanks to Knight’s unstoppable effort from 25-yards.
Rovers struggled to assert themselves in the same way in the second half and Crewe were able to double their advantage when Finney headed in from Knight’s corner kick delivery to seal defeat for Rovers.
