Morecambe matchwinner Toumani Diagouraga admitted he had no doubt his late strike against Doncaster Rovers was heading for the net.

The Shrimps had trailed 3-0 after 29 minutes at the Mazuma Stadium on Sunday before second-half goals from Cole Stockton (2) and Jon Obika made it 3-3.

Then, in the 86th minute, a corner was cleared to Diagouraga on the edge of the area, where the 34-year-old smashed a shot past Doncaster keeper Louis Jones for his first goal of the season.

“Yes I did,” Diagouraga said afterwards when asked if he knew his shot was going in.

“I actually caught it quite sweet but it was just unbelievable to get the three points, it was a massive game.

“Hopefully it’s a turning point and we can use that to really look up the league and climb the table.
