Doncaster 3-3 Blackpool

Billy Sharp's last-minute equaliser rescued a point for Doncaster in a six-goal thriller against high-flying Championship rivals Blackpool.

Martin Woods fired an early left-footed opener for Rovers before Brett Ormerod nudged in Ian Evatt's header.

Sharp swept in Gareth Roberts' cross to make it 2-1, but Jay Emmanuel-Thomas equalised from the edge of the box.

Ben Burgess curled a shot into the top corner to put Blackpool ahead but Sharp latched on to James Hayter's pass.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway:
"Where do you start on a game like that? I would have paid to watch that myself.

"Entertainment is the business and that was just great. If it carries on that way for the rest of my life I will die early - it's not good for my ticker.

"Ups and downs and ins and outs, that game had everything. Brilliant. I cannot complain about the result at all because if we had won it would have been tough on Doncaster. They deserved a point out of that.

Doncaster boss Sean O'Driscoll:

"It was excellent. We are not the biggest side in the world and their physicality caused us problems.

"But we stuck with it, didn't get frustrated and got something. I think we created more chances but we have been saying all week what a good side Blackpool are and they showed that today.

"It was a game to get forward and fight fire with fire."
