Page last updated at 20:39 GMT, Friday, 17 September 2010 21:39 UKDoncaster and Leeds shared the points after a highly entertaining Yorkshire derby at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Leeds' Davide Somma and Rovers' Dean Shields both hit the woodwork in a first half played at a high tempo but short on real goalscoring chances.

The pace did not drop after the break, with Somma getting the ball in the net with 15 minutes left, only to be denied by the off-side flag.

Rovers tried for a late winner but Alex Bruce was imperious in Leeds' defence.

Doncaster began the game the brighter, pinning Leeds back straight away with their intricate passing, but when they first came close to getting on the score sheet, it was by more direct means.

Leeds' Bradley Johnson fouled James Coppinger wide on the right, and when Martin Woods fired in a free-kick, Somma failed to connect as he tried to clear the ball, forcing a fumbled save from Shane Higgs.

Within minutes Somma was in the thick of the action at the other end, as he brushed aside a featherweight Rovers defence to unleash a shot which keeper Neil Sullivan turned onto the bar.

It was then the turn of Shields to hit the woodwork for Rovers, with a right-foot curling shot against the far post from the left-hand side of the pitch.

In the second half, Somma looked to have marked his first start for Leeds with a goal as he followed up Johnson's blocked shot, but was correctly flagged for off-side.

The home side refused to give up, continually harrying the Leeds defence, but Bruce in particular proved to be an immovable object and prevented them finding a route through to goal.
