  • Sierra Leone native Amadou Bakayoko scored to rescued English League One side Coventry City to a 1-1 home draw against Doncaster on Saturday.
  • Bakayoko,23, helped Coventry City maintain their impressive unbeaten start to the new League One season in another thrilling encounter at St Andrew’s.

His last-gasp equaliser was enough to share the spoils against a resolute Doncaster side.

Despite the home team enjoying the majority of possession, City nearly took the lead in the strangest of circumstances. With 24 minutes gone, a dangerous Wesley Jobello cross had the keeper beaten; unfortunately, it struck the bar and bounced away to safety.

However, the visitors took the lead against the run of play through Ben Whiteman four minute before the break.

But they battled back in the second 45 when late substitute Bakayoko stepped off the bench to secure his side a share of the spoils, hooking home in the 88th minute.
