Npower League One leaders Doncaster suffered a setback in their quest for automatic promotion after being sent crashing to a 3-0 defeat at MK Dons.

Rovers were never in the hunt after Izale McLeod gave the hosts a 40th-minute lead, with further goals after the break from Daniel Powell and Stephen Gleeson seeing Karl Robinson's side to a comfortable win.
