Joseph Olowu
Former Arsenal youth teamer Joseph Olowu netted the winning goal to give Doncaster Rovers an important 1-0 win over Daniel Udoh’s Shrewsbury Town at Keepmoat Stadium in South Yorkshire.
With eleven minutes remaining Olowu, headed in a corner from Rowe – his second league goal in four outings.

Former Flying Eagles invitee Freddie Ladapo broke the deadlock with a cheeky back flick in the 24th minute and restored Miller’s one-goal advantage two minutes into the second half when he slotted the ball low under the Burton Albion goalkeeper.
Ladapo had registered eleven goals in all competitions this term comprising eight in League One, two in the Papa John’s Trophy, and one in the Emirates FA Cup.
Adebayo Akinfenwa Wycombe Striker
Evergreen striker Adebayo Akinfenwa scored the pick of the goals as Wycombe Wanderers and AFC Wimbledon shared the spoils with a 2-2 draw at Adams Park.
The 39-year-old, off the bench in the 65th minute, made it 1-1 with an audacious lob from outside the box after spotting the Wimbledon goalkeeper off his line at minute 74.
