Doncaster Rovers 2 Nottingham Forest 2: Dickov rues dropped points
On-loan Federico Macheda fired Rovers in front after latching onto a pass from Theo Robinson in the 35th minute and restored the lead with a superbly-crafted goal in the 52nd minute after Chris Cohen had equalised.
Cohen scored with a powerful shot in the 40th minute and it needed another spectacular strike from Andy Reid to snatch a point nine minutes from time.

Hide AdDickov said: “We’re possibly a little bit disappointed not to have three points after twice being in front but first and foremost it was a fantastic game of football between two teams that really wanted to win.
“ I changed the side around because we wanted to be brave and bold and really go for it by playing three strikers.
“Some of the football we played against a top team that will be up there at the end of the season was magnificent and it shows we can be competitive and get better in this league.”
