The Seasiders were worthy of a 2-0 lead at the interval courtesy of a Jake Day brace.

But Chris Wood, making his debut following his move from Hallam, headed Parkgate back into contention just before the hour mark.

With the home side on the front foot Andrew Fox rattled in the equaliser on 69 minutes. Zak Khalifa then came off the bench to rifle home a superb winner five minutes from time as the Steelmen held out for a memorable victory despite having Liam Graham sent off for a second yellow card in the dying moments.

While delighted with the victory, manager Billy Fox wasn’t happy with his side’s first half showing. He said: “We cant keep giving ourselves mountains to climb against good sides such as Bridlington.”

Mitch Husbands close range finish from a free-kick gave the Tigers a 14th minute lead which they doubled 10 minutes later via an own-goal.

Liversdge quickly got one back through former Tiger Rhys Davies but Micah Bishop restored the two-goal cushion on 65 minutes with a fine 30-ayrd effort that caught the keeper off his line. Again the visitors pulled one back through Joe Walton but substitute Ashley Burbeary looked to have sealed the points as he made it 4-2 on 83 minutes with his very first touch.

However, Worksop couldn’t hold out as first Davies made it 4-3 from the penalty spot five minutes from time with Walton then grabbing his second deep into time added on.
