Mansfield come from behind to sink managerless Doncaster
Posted Sunday, December 05, 2021 by PA
Mansfield compounded the woes of managerless Doncaster by coming from behind to dump them out of the FA Cup with a 3-1 triumph.
A George Lapslie brace and Will Forrester strike saw the Stags overturn a half-time deficit after Branden Horton had put Doncaster ahead.
In their first game since dismissing Richie Wellens as manager, Rovers got off to a strong start when Horton slotted in to give them the lead after seven minutes.
Mansfield equalised in the 48th minute when a corner was flicked on by Lapslie and Forrester nodded in at the back post.
The goal gave the visitors a significant lift and they went ahead on the hour when Lapslie finished well from a tight angle.
Mansfield had their tails up and went further ahead after 70 minutes when Lapslie capped off a sweeping team move with a fine finish.
Tommy Rowe drilled in from 20 yards after a well-worked free kick routine with six minutes remaining to put some doubt on the outcome, but Mansfield held on.
