Accrington 1-1 Bristol Rovers

Shaun Whalley's dramatic injury-time free-kick rescued relegation-threatened Accrington against Rovers.

Richard Walker had put the Pirates ahead in the 58th minute, heading home a Craig Disley cross, and Aaron Lescott hit the post soon afterwards.

But substitute Whalley fired home through a crowd of bodies with Stanley's first real chance.

To add to Rovers' woes Stuart Campbell was shown a red card for violent conduct with seconds remaining.
