Crystal Palace slumped to their first defeat in seven games as they were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Doncaster Rovers.

Billy Sharp, Martin Woods and James Hayter got the goals for a Rovers side inspired by ex-Eagle John Oster.

It could have been different for Palace had Neil Danns not missed an open goal early and Darren Ambrose also failed to convert from a yard out.

Alan Lee had a header cleared off the line as Palace came out strongly in the second half but they were ultimately well beaten.
