Doncaster moved four points clear of the drop zone as Saints loanee Billy Sharp made a hero's return in a vital 3-0 win over 10-man Charlton at the Keepmoat Stadium tonight.
Goals from Abdoulaye Meite, Chris Brown (penalty) and man-of-the-match Mark Duffy saw Rovers run out easy winners over a poor Charlton side, whose spirit evaporated once Lawrie Wilson was sent off late in the first half.
Sharp made his second home debut for Doncaster, almost two years to the day since he last donned a Rovers shirt before a big-money move to Saints, as manager Paul Dickov named an unchanged starting XI.
Wilson was dismissed for a foul on Sharp which allowed Brown to convert from the spot.
Sharp, on loan from Saints until the end of the season, had scored a late leveller in his first game back at Doncaster at Blackpool last Saturday.
