Pools were 2-0 up at the CNG Stadium thanks to goals from full debutant Tyler Hamilton and captain Ryan Donaldson.

Legend goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopoulos made his second debut for the club 15 years after his first and things looked to be going well as he made a number of decent saves as well as a penalty stop from Jon Stead in the first half.

But the final 13-minutes saw the Greek goalkeeper and Hartlepool completely capitulate as an own goal and two further errors late on somehow gifted the home side victory. Scroll down to see how Poolies reacted to the result on Twitter...
