Yorke nabs late goal to secure draw

Blackburn 3, Sunderland 3 (result)

Dwight Yorke scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser for Blackburn today in the FA Cup.

He forced a replay at Sunderland after the visitors threw away a two-goal lead.

Cole got his second goal of the game in the 73rd minute when he took a pass from Dwight Yorke in his stride to throw Blackburn a lifeline.

The former Manchester United striker then broke away only to over-run the ball and Sorensen was able to clear.

Sorensen then blocked a shot from substitute Nils-Eric Johansson before Proctor hit the bar for Sunderland.

Blackburn drew level in stoppage time and forced a replay following a clinical finish from Yorke after a long ball from Neill.
