The away side pulled a goal back after 51 minutes when Carayol danced his way into the Gills area to poke home but Jackman restored the home side`s two-goal cushion with a 20-yard drive.And Gills put the result beyond doubt after 72 minutes when Bolger saw red for fouling Curtis Weston in the box, leaving Kedwell to thump home the resulting penalty.Gillingham 4-1 Bristol Rovers: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statictics of the game as it happened.
