Mansfield Town a step closer to staying in the Football League

Mansfield Town’s 1 – 0 victory against Tranmere Rovers looks almost certain to keep the team in League Two for another season.

Reggie Lambe scored the winning goal which was set up by Vadaine Oliver just before half time.

However winger Lambe was set off during stoppage time due to a scuffle between both teams players.
