Match report: Shrewsbury Town 3-4 Bristol Rovers

By bristolrovers.co.uk  Saturday Nov 23, 2019

Two of the best defences in the league produced an immense contest with Bristol Rovers narrowly taking all three points away against Shrewsbury Town.

Tony Craig and Ollie Clarke got Rovers on their way early in the first half, before Laurent pulled one back for the hosts prior to the half-time interval.

821 away fans cheered overs to victory

Liam Sercombe produced some magic to lob Murphy in the Shrewsbury net and put the Gas in the driving seat, but it wasn’t to be an easy win.

Goals from Norburn and Laurent leveled things at the Montgomery Waters Stadium, but a late strike from Abu Ogogo meant his side took all three points away from this absolute thriller.
