Market Rasen Town secured a 3-2 victory over AFC Grainthorpe on Saturday - with a dramatic stoppage-time winner.

The hosts played well in the first half but fell behind before George Bennett was on hand to level things up before half time.

The visitors went ahead for a second time following the re-start and they held that lead until the final 22 minutes. Grainthorpe were denied two possible penalties and Rasen capitalised as Demitri Modeste levelled things up.
