Billy Sharp scored the only goal of the game as Doncaster moved off the bottom of the npower Championship with a shock 1-0 victory over leaders Southampton.
Rickie Lambert was absent for Nigel Adkins' side with a hip injury and the Saints badly missed the 14-goal striker's cutting edge as they failed to test Rovers goalkeeper Carl Ikeme.
Their best chance fell to Morgan Schneiderlin, who was thwarted by on-loan Wolves man Ikeme when through on goal in the first half.
An end-to-end opening period gave way to a cagey second 45 minutes, but Sharp was on hand to provide the decisive moment from Marc-Antoine Fortune's 60th-minute cross.
West Ham's defeat to Burnley means Southampton's two-point advantage at the summit remains intact after 20 games.
