Joey Barton hailed a moment of "world-class" quality from Antony Evans to fire Bristol Rovers to a 1-0 win over Barrow at the Mem on Tuesday.
Rovers' promotion hopes were done the world of good thanks to Evans' incredible winning goal, firing into the roof of the net from long range to break the 10-man Bluebirds' resistance. Niall Canavan had been sent off in the first half for denying a goalscoring opportunity after Evans picked out Leon Clarke, but Barrow soaked up pressure and frustrated the Gas.
But the Mem erupted nine minutes from time when Evans broke the deadlock and, after a chaotic end to the game with Barrow hitting the post in their pursuit of an equaliser, the Gas ended the evening just two points off the League Two play-off places and just five off the automatic promotion berths with a game in hand.
