Goals in either half from Chris Clements and Ryan Tafazolli secured a memorable 2-0 win for Reggie Lambe and his Mansfield Town teammates at Meadow Lane after an enthralling derby with local rivals Notts County.
Adam Murray reverted back to the same outfield players who started the opening day draw with Carlisle last Saturday, with Matt Green leading the line after missing out at Hillsborough through injury on Tuesday night.
The only change came in goal for Mansfield, with Brian Jensen replacing Scott Shearer between the posts due to an illness to Mansfield’s number one, the Danish ‘keeper becoming the oldest ever player for Mansfield in the process.
With the atmosphere electric inside Meadow Lane, the Jimmy Sirrel Stand packed full of optimistic Mansfield fans were up out of their seats when Matt Green coolly swiveled away from his defender before slotting Thomas clean through on goal.
