Manchester United icon, friends reunited, blast from the past and Bristol Rovers moments missed

Two wins to push Bristol Rovers through the 50-point barrier made it quite the Easter weekend for Joey Barton and his players.

After edging past Charlton Athletic with a 1-0 underpinned by perhaps their most assured defensive performance of the season, the Gas headed north to Fleetwood Town on Monday and returned with three more points in the bag, almost certainly cementing their place in League One for next season.

It was a day of firsts as Lewis Gibson equalised in a 2-1 win with his first senior goal, coincidentally coming against one of his former club, before January signing Grant Ward struck the winner; his first goal for the Gas and his first for 863 days after the end of his time at Blackpool was marred by injury.
