BRISTOL Rovers were once again chasing the game after Gary Roberts' stoppage-time strike gave Yeovil Town an interval lead at Huish Park.

The Pirates hit the bar twice within a minute early in the game, Chris Lines volleying against the bar before Rickie Lambert did the same with a header from a corner.

But it was the Glovers who broke the deadlock in the sixth m inute when Terry Skiverton was left unmarked from a corner and planted his header past Steve Phillips.

Rovers were denied again after 27 minutes when Darryl Duffy saw his attempt cleared off the line by Terrell Forbes.

But the Pirates levelled from the penalty spot after Skiverton handled in the 38th minutes. Lambert duly fired home his eighth goal of the campaign from the spot.

Yeovil struck once more in first-half stoppage time when the ball was worked towards the edge of the box and Downes ran in to score from 20-yards to put the Somerset club in front again.
