Steven Davies hit the second for Derby County as they maintained their 100 per cent record with a 3-0 win over Doncaster.

In League Two, former Oldham youngster Lewis Alessandra made the points safe for Morecambe as they made it three wins in as many games to move up to fourth in the table.
Directly above the Shrimps are Gillingham who recorded a 3-0 win over Plymouth Argyle. Young midfielder Luke Rooney scoring either side of two penalties from Danny Kedwell.
