Watch as Bury were allowed to walk the ball into the net to equalise

Doncaster allowed Bury to walk in an equaliser after netting a freak goal themselves in Saturday's Sky Bet League One 1-1 draw at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Rovers manager Paul Dickov instructed his players to clear a path for Bury to find the net, after Doncaster scored by mistake in second-half stoppage time when attempting to return an act of good sportsmanship.

Midfielder Harry Forrester tried, following a throw-in, to return the ball to visiting goalkeeper Christian Walton, who had knocked it out of play following an injury, but the ball bounced over Walton and found the Bury net.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher gives his thoughts on the circumstances surrounding Bury's walk-in goal against Doncaster.

Rather than take advantage, Doncaster let Leon Clarke amble half the length of the pitch unchallenged before tapping home.
