Lita's late leveller as City laugh last

Leroy Lita once again produced a priceless performance, notching an injury-time winner against defiant Doncaster.

Lita followed up his midweek hat-trick against Wolves with a last-gasp goal to cap a dramatic Norwich comeback.

Antoine Sibierski cancelled out Brian Stock's penalty before Lita showed Glenn Roeder why he should move heaven and earth to extend his loan period.

Roeder, aware that Lita could soon be recalled by Reading, said: "We would like to extend the loan deal and I'm sure Leroy would like to stay."

Roeder, clearly relieved to collect maximum points from a performance that bore no resemblance to the 5-2 midweek mauling of Wolves, admitted: "I can't argue with the fact that we didn't play well.

We had a lot of flat performances out there and looked tired after the Wolves game."

With chances few and far between, a draw looked likely until Donny were awarded a controversial 77th-minute penalty, converted by Stock.

The goal sparked Norwich into life, and the hosts were back on level terms six minutes later through Sibierski.

Then Lita finished as the late hero with his closerange volley.
