Krystian Nowak headed home at the back post from a corner in the last 10 minutes for the winning goal
There was late drama in the three minutes of injury-time at the death, as the hosts pushed hard for a leveller.
Twice they managed to send dangerous balls back into the box as Bohs struggled to clear from a corner. But when the best chance eventually fell to Luke McNicholas – who had ventured forward into the opposition’s box – the goalkeeper was unable to keep his half-volley on target with the last action of the game.
The 80 minutes that preceded Nowak’s strike looked unlikely to produce a breakthrough, with defence on top and both goalkeepers relatively untroubled. Bohs striker James Akintunde and Rovers forward Max Mata both had half-chances just past the hour-mark, but it was left to centre-back Nowak to claim a priceless winner with his first goal for the club, and earn the pacesetters a sixth victory in seven league matches.McNicholas, Liivak, Mahon, Pijnaker, Hutinson, Bolger, Morahan , Vastuk , Fitzgerald, Hartmann, Mata.Talbot, Benn , Nowak, Radkowski, Kirk, McDonnell, McManus, Clarke , Coote , Akintunde, Afolabi.
