Gallery | The best images from Rovers' home win over Shrewsbury

Click through the best images from Bristol Rovers' 1-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town in Sky Bet League Two.

It was a battle between a formidable home side and a strong away team. The Gas came into the contest with four wins in their last five outings at The Memorial Stadium, with Salop claiming three straight victories on the road.

The visitors had two early chances, with Will Boyle and Iwan Morgan narrowly missing the target. However, they could not build on their early chances, with Steve Evans making a triple change at half-time to turn the contest.

The introduction of Yusuf Akhamrich, Ellis Harrison and Luke Thomas put Shrewsbury under pressure, but it was Tommy Leigh who provided the crucial moment. Kofi Balmer's long throw-in was cleared as far as the midfielder, who drove a deflected first-time strike beyond the reach of Matthew Cox.
