Owen Bailey the hero as Doncaster snatch last-gasp win over Mansfield

Owen Bailey hit the winner in the sixth minute of stoppage time as Doncaster maintained their perfect start to the new season with a 2-1 win over Mansfield at One Call Stadium.

Rovers beat Exeter last week and are now one of six teams to make it two wins from two in the fledgling Sky Bet League One season.

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.
