Doncaster Rovers did themselves proud despite exiting the Carabao Cup against Everton following a 2-1 defeat.

Joe Ironside’s header gave Doncaster a deserved lead on the stroke of half time after a dominant first-half display against a Premier League outfit.

But Everton responded after the break and late goals from Beto and Arnaut Danjuma saved their blushes.

Here’s how we rated the Doncaster players.
