Owen Bailey the hero as Doncaster snatch last-gasp win over Mansfield
The Stags took the lead after 57 minutes when Stephen McLaughlin picked up the ball on the left and advanced into space before driving a long-range effort past Thimothee Lo-Tutala into the top left corner of the net.
Doncaster were level with 14 minutes remaining when a corner from the left was deflected into the net with goalkeeper Liam Roberts under pressure from Bailey.
And the comeback was complete deep into stoppage time as Bailey was in the right place at the right time to prod the ball past Roberts to secure all three points.

Jon Stead optimistic despite Bristol Rovers being held by Oldham
Stead expressed optimism following a frustrating night for Rovers whose manager Darrell Clarke was booked late on for dissent as he was left waiting for the first win of his second spell in charge. 'That looked much more like what we expect from the group and what the supporters expect from us,' Stead told reporters after Rovers picked up their first point of the campaign. 'At times it was electric because there was a tempo to the game, there was drive and an intensity to the game, and for a few split seconds I enjoyed it on the touchline which was nice. 'We just have to keep performing and turn disappointing night like this into wins but it's a process and we're working hard towards that and so are the players and I know we're getting there.' Rovers, relegated from League One last season, dominated and almost snatched victory in stoppage time but Jack Sparkes' 20-yard free-kick thundered against the crossbar. Earlier, captain Tom Conlon came to the visitors' rescue with a goal-line clearance to deny Gas skipper Alfie Kilgour when he rose to win Sparkes' free-kick on the hour. 'We're not happy but I am talking here quite buoyantly because I see hope and a process that is starting to work and I see things that are starting to click,' Stead continued. 'We will become a really good team but it feels as though everything's going against us at the moment. 'There are a lot of things we are trying to overcome and we are having to deal with setbacks but that's football. 'The players are getting kicked but they carry that on their shoulders and it's our job to help them through it.' Oldham manager Micky Mellon hailed his side's fighting qualities as they got back in their fans' good books following the 2-1 weekend home defeat by Swindon. 'It was a real battling point,' said Mellon, whose promoted side are also without a win this term. 'After Saturday we were annoyed at ourselves for the first 15 to 20 minutes because we didn't show a reaction or show those battling qualities that are needed to fight for the right to play. 'But we did that tonight against possibly one of the highest invested-in teams in the division on a Tuesday night and we stood our ground and fought and scrapped and created some good chances. 'It was a good old-fashioned League Two battle and I'm sorry for the fans we couldn't get one of those finishes in for them. 'The lads had to show a reaction from Saturday and we did that because we let ourselves down and we let the fans down. 'This is a learning time for us as a team and we've now learned that you can't wait until the tempo to drop to a level that you believe you'd like to play at and try to get the right to try and play.'
