Donny 2 Arsenal 2 (Arsenal win 3-1 on pens)
After taking the lead in as early as the 4th min in which McIndoe slotted a lovelly shot past the arsenal goalkeeper. Doncaster looked as if they might record their 3rd premiership hauling of the season. Doncaster had many chances to increase the lead during the first half but at half time it remained 1-0.
Doncaster kept up their quick flowing football and was unlucky when a fluke deflection left donny keeper wrong footed to make it 1-1.
1-1 it remained til full-time. In injury time Doncaster scored after a defensive blunder through Paul Green. The writing was on the cards..."Wenger's Arse-nal bitten by rover". Into added extra time at the end of the second half and 60 seconds away from progressing to an historic win and a semi final place when disaster struck. Just 60 seconds left and Arsenal scored!
The lads obviously being down after coming so close lost on penalties.
ABSOLUTELY GUTTED! but at the same time very proud of the lads who yet again showed the footballing world just how good they are.
some nice quotes from Arsenal's Wenger...
"Doncaster are a VERY good side who have players who could play in the premiership!"
"I was suprised when they beat Villa, but now i am not!"
but my favourite...
When asked..."Do you know where Doncaster is?" his reply "It's a town that the train stops at on it's way to newcastle"
