Bristol Rovers scored three second-half goals to come from behind and win 3-1 at 10-man Burton in League One.

Albion had led through Danilo Orsi but Rovers substitute Shaq Forde levelled before Clinton Mola and Grant Ward secured victory for Matt Taylor’s side.

Orsi’s fourth goal of the season came after 15 minutes and was reward for a bright start from Mark Robinson’s team.

Orsi reacted to Elliot Watt’s ball over the top to neatly tuck the ball home past keeper Josh Griffiths.

A double substitution early in the second half reaped an immediate reward for Rovers as Ward picked out Forde to place his shot beyond Max Crocombe.

Ward was the provider again with a cross to the back post that allowed Mola to fire through a crowded penalty box to put Rovers in front.

Albion finished the game with 10 men when substitute Terence Vancooten was sent off for his challenge on Gatlin O’Donkor as the striker ran through towards goal.

Rovers added a third in added time on the counter-attack as Ward capped an impressive second-half showing with a shot drilled into the top corner.
