Oldham 2-3 Mansfield: In-form Stags hit back to triumph
Thursday 14 January 2021 09:45, UK
In-form Mansfield recovered from an early deficit before triumphing 3-2 at Oldham.
Nigel Clough's Stags secured a fourth straight League Two win to move into the top half of the table.
Oldham went in front after six minutes when Alfie McCalmont beat keeper Aidan Stone too easily from 12 yards after Conor McAleny's cross was only partially cleared.
Stone redeemed himself soon after when he saved another McCalmont strike well with his legs.
Jordan Bowery somehow missed the target from inside the six-yard box, before Harry Charsley equalised when he lashed home from 15 yards after Oldham keeper Ian Lawlor failed to punch clear a hopeful ball forward from Stephen McLaughlin.
