Tamworth’s Dan Creaney struck in stoppage time to keep Forest Green from going top of the National League after a 1-1 draw.

Creaney headed in a long throw from Tom Tonks at the back post in the second minute of time added on as Tamworth snatched a point which leaves Rovers in third place, two points behind leaders Barnet and one below York.

Rovers had come under early pressure, with Jed Ward saving a good curling effort from Chris Wreh, and then took the lead seven minutes before half-time.

Kyle McAllister made space for himself before hitting a fierce shot which struck the underside of the crossbar on its way in.

Liam Sercombe had an effort cleared just short of the line in the 63rd minute before Tamworth delivered late drama.
