Goal ace Szmodics is having a ball

Rovers trailed twice, to Jack Lankester’s curling effort and Sullay Kaikai’s volley. In between those goals, Szmodics swept home and he brought Rovers level again with a typically clinical strike.

The Championship’s leading scorer took his tally for the season to 19 in first-half stoppage time with a first-time volley from close range.

Arnor Sigurdsson’s finish midway through the second half and Harry Leonard’s powerful late header rounded off the scoring, but the star of the show was Szmodics.

Tomasson said: “The development of Sammie is great to see. He’s a team player, he’s a goalscorer. He’s very good in doing all the things we want. The good thing is, he can miss a chance and it doesn’t matter, he can go on. Great character and great to see him getting the ball with him at home.
