Oldham scored four second-half goals to beat Mansfield and set up an FA Cup third-round tie with Liverpool, whom they beat last season.

The hosts were ahead at the break after Ross Dyer headed home from six yards.

But Oldham hit back, Danny Philliskirk curling a free-kick into the top corner before Jonson Clarke-Harris fired in.

A Philliskirk corner saw Matteo Lanzoni head in before Adam Rooney netted a penalty after Stags defender John Dempster was sent off for handball.

VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

Oldham manager Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Manchester:

"I'm delighted for the lads mainly. Of course I'm delighted personally, but for the lads more importantly.

"Over the two games, it was tough. They [Mansfield] a dogged side and we had to work hard to get our football out.

"The second half was a monumental performance by the boys and I'm so pleased for them, with the prize of now going to Anfield."
