Doncaster took a late, injury time lead against Bury in League One today through Harry Forrester.
The thing was, Forrester had not intended to score.
He was attempting to give possession back to Bury goalkeeper Christian Walton after the ball had been put out of play for an injury. Instead the ball floated over the head of the stranded keeper and into the net.
This is incredible (part 1/2)

After some discussion, it was decided that Bury should be allowed to score an equaliser.
Definitely the easiest goal of Leon Clarke's career.

Doncaster manager Paul Dickov said afterwards that his side 'had to do what was right'.
We had to do what was right. The officials have put us in an awkward situation and it could have been negated. We wanted to uphold the good name of Doncaster Rovers.
