Late equalizer by Christian Doidge secures draw for Forest Green at Hartlepool

Christian Doidge scored a late goal to secure a draw for Forest Green, who are heading to the play-offs, in a 1-1 match against Hartlepool in the National League.

Hartlepool took the lead just before half-time through David Ferguson, after Reyes Cleary set him up with a cross from the byline.

Despite Emmanuel Dieseruvwe coming close to doubling Hartlepool's lead, it was Forest Green who pushed for a late equalizer, with Adam May's shot being deflected wide in the 85th minute.

Their efforts paid off in the end when Joe Quigley set up Doidge for a headed goal in the final minute of the game.
