Christian Doidge struck a minute from time to salvage a point for play-off bound Forest Green in a 1-1 National League draw at Hartlepool.

The home side had taken the lead eight minutes before the break when Reyes Cleary got to the byline and pulled the ball back for David Ferguson to turn in.

Emmanuel Dieseruvwe went close to adding a second for Hartlepool but it was Rovers pressing late on with Adam May’s 85th-minute effort deflected wide.

That pressure paid off at the end when Joe Quigley teed up Doidge to head home.
