Joe Hugill capped his first league start with a brace, the first a well-taken effort just two minutes into the game.
Connor McBride’s penalty and a Brad Lyons header looked to have given Rovers the win, but Hugill then popped up at the far post, with just four minutes to play, to turn home Anthony Elanga’s cross.
Lead coach Neil Wood made two changes to the side that overcame Rochdale on penalties in the EFL Trophy in midweek, with Harvey Neville replacing Logan Pye in the XI and slotting in at right-back and 16-year-old Isak Hansen in for his first Under-23s start, in place of Martin Svidersky in midfield.
