PICTURE Gallery: Emley stun AFC Mansfield with late equaliser

Resolute Emley AFC snatched a late equaliser to deny AFC Mansfield all three points in the first of three successive home games for the Pewits - and photographer Mark Parsons was there to capture the action.

In a game which had flashes of excitement both teams created chances and felt they probably deserved to win the game on a pitch was heavy but fairly good considering the recent rain and snow.

After a goalless first half it was Mansfield who went ahead in the Toolstation NCE Premier Division game when Thomas Cropper produced a fine low finish.

But Emley dug in and deservedly equalised in the 87th minute as Charlie Smith volleyed home from close range.

Emley: Kelly, Ngoe, Charlton, Price, Knowles, Pashley, Metcalfe, Claisse, Doyle, Eyles, Kenny. Subs used: Smith, Tweddle, Swinburn, Unused: Cadzow, Savory.

Moxon and Co Man of the Match: James Knowles.
