Doncaster's Paul Dickov told players 'to let Bury score'

Doncaster Rovers manager Paul Dickov explains why he delivered a great sporting gesture by ordering his players to allow Bury to walk in an injury-time equaliser.

Dickov and Bury manager David Flitcroft spoke to 5 live Sport to review the bizarre scenario which saw Harry Forrester score when playing the ball back to the Bury keeper, which then led to Leon Clarke dribbling from the centre circle to equalise unchallenged.

Reflecting back on the incident Dickov said "It was surreal, I just felt the right thing for us to do was to go and let Bury score. The one thing I wanted to do was to keep the good name of football and Doncaster Rovers intact."

Flitcroft added "It was an incredible thing for [Dickov] to do."
