Doncaster Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll was delighted with debutant Elliott Ward after he scored a sensational overhead kick in Tuesday night's 2-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday.

The loanee, who joined from Coventry City, found the underside of the crossbar and the roof of the net with his perfectly executed effort as Donny beat their Yorkshire neighbours at Hillsborough.

Speaking after the game, O'Driscoll said: "I've known him since he was a kid at West Ham, he is a ball-playing centre-half.

"I thought his use of the ball was excellent and it's one of those, it's in the box and he's had a stab at it and it's one for the archives.

"We've just had a look at it on the tape in the dressing room and it will be one for him to show the kids when he gets a little bit older."
