Oldham ended a difficult week with a draw as their attempts to put the Ched Evans saga behind them were hit by a second-half Doncaster comeback.

Jabo Ibehre's smart turn and shot put the hosts ahead before George Elokobi made it 2-0 with a second-half header.

But after Oldham's Joseph Mills saw red for a tackle, Doncaster fought back.

Nathan Tyson halved the deficit from close range before James Coppinger's individual effort levelled the scores in the last minute.

The Latics had been in the spotlight since last Sunday for considering signing convicted rapist Evans, with a mixed response from their fans to the decision to not give him a contract.

There were isolated chants of "one Ched Evans" and "sign him up" met with boos from others in the Boundary Park crowd.

Before kick-off, a banner among the crowd of 4,181 was also unfurled which read "70,000 where are you", referring to the number of people who had signed a petition urging Oldham chairman Simon Corney not to sign Evans.

Oldham manager Lee Johnson told 91�ȱ� Radio Manchester:

"I am a football manager and I have had to prepare my team. The people who have come out with fantastic credit are the players and the office staff. It has been nice to be part of a team under siege and everyone stuck together.

"When you are in the media as much as we have been it has been different. We have stuck to the same line and it was important the players maintained their focus and performed.

"It was a very unique potential signing and one that could only be made by people at the top end. I have to respect that and make sure I am very careful with what I say. "

Doncaster manager Paul Dickov told 91�ȱ� Radio Sheffield:

"We knew it was going to be a tough, tough game. They've had a tough week and we knew they were going to come out flying at us today.

"We were really angry at half-time because we spoke at length about how they would come at us and get their fans up.

"But we contributed to our own downfall. We made too many mistakes."
