York scored a dramatic equaliser 13 minutes into injury time to draw 1-1 at Rochdale on Saturday and clinch an extraordinary return to the English Football League pyramid. In a showdown marred by several pitch invasions, Josh Stones' goal broke Rochdale's heart. Rochdale, which needed to win to pip leader York to the National League title and a return to the fourth tier of the EFL, had gone in front through Emmanuel Dieseruvwe’s header five minutes into added time. The goal sparked a pitch invasion from home supporters that delayed the game for six minutes. However, Stones then forced the ball over the line following a scramble after York threw 10 players forward, a goal confirmed after referee Will Finnie consulted his watch and goal-line technology, sparking another pitch invasion, this time by visiting fans. York, which recorded 108 points to win the league, recently spent five seasons in the sixth-tier National League North.

Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli played quintessential T20 knocks of 55 and 81 respectively, trumping Sai Sudharsan's century to power Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a five-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in an IPL match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. Once Devdutt and Kohli added 115 runs for the second wicket in no time, RCB’s chase of 206 was right on track, which they eventually completed in 18.5 overs and moved to the second spot in the points table (10 points). The champion batter and his understudy tore apart GT bowlers after the early dismissal of Jacob Bethell in a mesmerising display of aggressive batting, in total contrast to the measured way their rivals’ went about gathering runs in the first innings. Earlier, Sudharsan produced a magnificent 100 that was an anti-thesis of T20 batting, but still strong enough to carry Gujarat to a competitive 205 for three.
