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.

Kevin Nicholson hails ‘effort, endeavour and grit' as Exeter win at Wycombe
The Grecians, who had only lost one of their last five league outings against the Chairboys, secured their second win at Adams Park in three seasons after Wanderers captain Jack Grimmer scored an own goal with seven minutes remaining. After Ethan Brierley's ball into the box seemed to be going into the hands of goalkeeper Mikki van Sas, Grimmer headed it over Wycombe's number one to give Exeter the win. It was their second league victory of the season, while Wanderers remain winless. Nicholson said: 'I would put the win down to effort, determination and grit more than how we drew it up tactically. 'Even though we wanted to be a bit more in control of possession, especially in the last 15 minutes, as they got through us way too easily. 'They had numerous shots which on another day, could have gone against us. 'However, credit to the lads who defended everything and Joe (Exeter's goalkeeper), who made some good saves. 'We put bodies on the line and yes, there was a lot of last-ditch defending, but we were organised, composed and controlled. 'The goal is unfortunate (for Jack Grimmer), but we did put bodies in the box, we put a lot of pressure on them, and we stressed their defence. 'Fortunately, for us, it finally gave, and we leave here with the win.' Despite the loss, Wycombe head coach Mike Dodds was 'proud' of his team's performance, and called the defeat a 'freak loss'. The result means Wycombe have had their worst start to a league season since 2020-21, and have now scored just three first-half goals in 25 games under the 39-year-old. He said: 'I feel the weight of the fans as they stuck with us. 'The style we have will make us successful but at the moment, we have to go through this pain to get to the other side. 'Tonight is a freak result as we were so dominant from start to finish. 'I don't think there'll be many games where the opposition didn't register a shot on goal and we come away losing the game. 'I'm proud of the group, as I left on Saturday (at Doncaster) very angry, as I didn't like what it (the performance) represented. 'But today, I thought we were excellent from start to finish and one moment has decided the game. 'We created loads of chances as we're getting the ball into the final third.' Since replacing Matt Bloomfield in February, Dodds has won eight of his 25 games in charge, drawing seven and losing 10 times.

Tammy Hembrow sets tongues wagging as she flaunts massive diamond ring on her left hand while wearing her new AFL beau Bailey Smith's jacket
Tammy Hembrow sure knows how to stay in the headlines. The fitness influencer, who is currently dating AFL heartthrob Bailey Smith, has once again sent her fans into a tailspin by showing off a giant diamond ring on her left hand while wearing the sports star's jacket. Tammy wore the rock on her middle finger as she headed out in her Bentley on Monday. She posted a picture of her hand holding a protein shaker containing her supplements while rugged up in Bailey's grey Adidas windbreaker. 'Baileys jacket,' one person wrote in the comments, pointing out that the influencer was wearing the zip-up that Bailey carried on their first date. The jacket has already featured in a TikTok posted by Tammy last week, which appeared to take aim at the intense interest the relationship has attracted since the pair went public. Tammy sat in her car and mimed the words to a popular trending audio clip from the Barbie film while wearing the jacket. 'Don't be f***ing boring. This whole town is so f***ing boring. I don't care,' Tammy mouthed, while shooting bratty looks at the camera. Bailey, 24, who plays for the Geelong Cats in Victoria, has flown to the Gold Coast two weekends in a row to spend time with the 31-year-old. The couple were first seen leaving hand-in-hand after a meal at swanky Asian fusion restaurant Rick Shores at Burleigh Heads before being caught making out at another restaurant. The pair were more recently spotted enjoying a romantic stroll to Nobby's Beach, where the footy player appeared to have his arm wrapped around Tammy's hips. Since Tammy's public appearances with the AFL star, her ex Matt Zukowski has admitted he felt 'hurt' watching his former wife move on so quickly after their break-up. The Love Island star also hinted he was the one to end things between them, despite some speculating it was Tammy who took the lead. The jacket already has featured in a TikTok posted by Tammy last week, which appeared to take aim at the intense interest the relationship has attracted since the pair went public with their blossoming courtship (pictured) Since Tammy's public appearances with the AFL star, her ex Matt has said he felt 'hurt' watching his former wife move on so quickly after their break-up 'A couple of months ago, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life. I decided to leave a relationship that I found was not right for me,' he told his Where's Your Head At? podcast co-host Anna McEvoy on Thursday. 'It was unhealthy for me.' Matt and Tammy got engaged in December 2023 after just three months of dating. They tied the knot almost a year later, in November 2024, but split rumours began to circulate earlier this year. In June, just seven months after tying the knot, the pair announced their divorce.
