York City promoted back to EFL in remarkable finale as 106-point Rochdale face playoffs
Football, bloody hell. We may never see the likes of it again after York City struck an equaliser in the 103rd minute to secure a dramatic return to the Football League at Rochdale’s expense.
The hosts thought they had done it when Mani Dieseruvwe headed a 95th minute goal that would have sent Dale into League Two. A pitch invasion ensued and, after a lengthy delay, play restarted. But there was still enough time for Josh Stones to bundle the ball over the line for York’s 114th, and most important goal, of the season to secure the point needed for unparalleled glory.
