Ajay Leitch-Smith brace gives Port Vale victory at Doncaster

Ajay Leitch-Smith's double moved Port Vale within striking distance of the Sky Bet League One play-offs as they won 2-1 at Doncaster.Leitch-Smith scored in either half to take his tally for the season to double figures as Rob Page's side took advantage of a limp Rovers display and closed the gap on the top six.It did not take Leitch-Smith long to get going as he coolly finished in just the sixth minute when he dinked home Matthew Kennedy's centre from eight yards.Kennedy, making his debut following a loan move from Cardiff, could have made a fine early impression, but when in yards of space in the Rovers penalty box he put his shot straight at the legs of goalkeeper Thorsten Stuckmann.Vale weathered an early second-half storm from Doncaster, but gave themselves breathing space in the 65th minute when Leitch-Smith scored his 10th goal in 14 matches.JJ Hooper stole the ball down the left and squared to his team-mate, who eventually converted at the second attempt.Cedric Evina gave Doncaster brief hope of a comeback in the 88th minute when his cross from the left went straight in but his side did not deserve anything out of the game.
