Tom Newey shocked the Premiership side when he game Town the lead off the underside of the bar after just 7 minutes.

On 17 minutes Villanueva equalised with a debut goal, curling the ball into the net from 25 yards.

On 25 Jarman wad put through with just the keeper to beat but decided to cross to nobody.

Rovers went in front for the first time on 30 when a Villanueva shot was deflected and Derbyshire tapped in the rebound from short range.

Barnes saved superbly within seconds to deny Emerson a second goal.

After the break Derbyshire made it four on 53.
