Kenyan international Jonah Ayunga and his Morecambe side got their 2022 off to a perfect start as they emerged victorious in a seven goal thriller following their 4-3 win over Doncaster in the English League One.In the match played on Sunday evening at the Mazuma Stadium, Ayunga featured for the entirety of the ninety minutes before being subbed off in the 90+4th minute of the game as defender Ryan Cooney was brought on to help the team see out the win.Staggeringly, Morecambe had to come from three goals down to win the match that was certainly a tale of two halves with Doncaster doing the damage in the first but failing to make their three goal half time cushion count in the second half.FULL-TIME: #Shrimps 4-3 @drfc_official.

Another sloppy play by Morecambe then allowed Dan Gardner to double Doncaster’s lead in the 26th minute as he fired a low shot past the goalkeeper.Three minutes later, Morecambe were undone yet again with another corner routine as Joseph Olowu guided his header at the back post into an empty net to give his side the 0-3 lead halfway through.HT: 0-3 😬FT: 4-3 😳An incredible second-half comeback from @ShrimpsOfficial 👏#EFL | #SkyBetLeagueOne pic.twitter.com/T2ayebXrb8— Sky Bet League One (@SkyBetLeagueOne) January 2, 2022 However, the half time team talk from Morecambe head coach Stephen Robinson seemed to work wonders as his team turned everything around in scoring four second half goals.Just seven minutes in, Cole Stockton scored his first goal in the match before completing his brace in the 74th minute with two close range efforts.With only seven minutes left on the clock, Jonathan Obika drew the game level to set up a dramatic close to the game where Morecambe emerged victorious as Toumani Diagouraga scored a thunderbolt in the 85th minute to complete the thrilling comeback and secure all the three points for Morecambe who momentarily moved out of the relegation places into 19th place on the log.
