Result: Ipswich Town 2-3 Doncaster Rovers

El Hadji-Diouf scores a brace as Doncaster Rovers pick up their first win in six at Portman Road, consigning Ipswich to their third straight defeat.

Doncaster Rovers picked up their first win in six by defeating out-of-form Ipswich Town at Portman Road this afternoon.

Recent signing El Hadji-Diouf scored a brace for the visitors as they recorded their third win of the season.

Diouf scored his and Rovers' first from a James Coppinger cross before Billy Sharp, who has been "overwhelmed" by support from the footballing community following the death of his two-day-old son, doubled the lead from another Coppinger delivery before being applauded by the Ipswich crowd.

It was three before the break when Diouf fired low from the edge of the area.

The home side did pull a goal back eight minutes into the second period through young substitute Josh Carson, who prodded home from close range.

Michael Chopra scored in the 90th minute but it was not enough for the Tractor Boys, who lose their third straight game.

Rovers remain bottom of the league while Ipswich drop into the bottom half.
