A last-minute strike from David Brown earned 10-man Telford a sensational point after the home side had been 4-0 down at half-time.

Doncaster were bidding to make it three wins in three games and were rewarded after an aggressive start to the contest when David Morley opened the scoring after 11 minutes.

Nine minutes later, Dave Penney's men doubled their lead when Francis Tierney fired home a wonderful free-kick from 20 yards after Steve Palmer's cynical challenge on Paul Green.

Four minutes later, another clumsy challenge from Palmer gave Dean Barrick the opportunity to repeat Tierney's feat with an equally emphatic free-kick.

The Bucks' nightmare half was complete when Tierney added the fourth goal after 31 minutes.

Revival time

However, the second half was a different story as Telford kicked off with a new-found resurgence.

Paul Moore tucked away a fine header from six yards just after the break and the visitors' lead was cut to two goals courtesy of a vicious Mark Foran strike after 59 minutes.

Jordan King was dismissed for his second bookable offence 10 minutes later but this spurred on the home side as Peter Smith made it 4-3 with a beautiful finish.

And Telford's unbelievable comeback was complete when Brown fired home a fully-deserved last-minute equaliser to send the New Bucks Head Stadium crowd into raptures.
