Rye United staged a remarkable comeback from 3-0 down to salvage a 3-3 draw at home to Lingfield on Saturday.

The Quarterboys scored three goals in the final 25 minutes, including an added time equaliser, to extend their unbeaten run to four Sussex County Football League Division One matches.

Rye’s first home game of the season got off to the worst possible start as they conceded three times in the opening 20 minutes. Daryl Coleman put Lingfield ahead with a sixth minute penalty, Hidekazu Sato doubled the lead nine minutes later and former Brighton & Hove Albion striker Nicky Forster made it three.
