Bristol Rovers vs MK Dons live: Updates from Papa Johns Trophy tie (Bristol Live)

All the action and reaction from the Memorial Stadium as Bristol Rovers play host to fellow League One side MK Dons in the last 16 of the competition.

The Gas are temporarily down to 10 men. The visitors have threatened at times but Jaakkola has had little to do bar a few goal kicks and to watch a couple of corners cleared. Rossiter was increasingly running the game, on both sides of the ball, but the Gas lost their midfield terrier as, after a break in play, the Scouser dropped to haunches and signalled to the bench. Ignore me, Rossiter has now gone down the tunnel having looked ready to return. Rovers created further daylight on the scoreboard early in the second period as Evans broke down the right and delivered a stinging low cross intended for Coburn. Marquis moved forward and took his shot probably a little further out than Cumming was expecting, catching the keeper a little off-balance as it nestled into the corner. Job done at the Mem and it proved pretty comfortable in the end. After Barton made a triple change, Saunders had them four goals to the good when he converted McCormick’s deep cross with a well-taken left-footed strike. Rossiter also followed just before the break but the midfielder’s injury didn’t look as bad and could be seen as more of a precautionary move by Joey Barton to replace him. But it was from an unfamiliar source that the hosts opened the scoring. Rovers corner as half-time approaches. Yellow card for Johnson and Rovers have a free-kick deep in the MK Dons half, just to the left of the penalty area.
