Mansfield Town 2-1 Dagenham & Redbridge (AET): Maynard snatches late winner

Nicky Maynard's stoppage-time winner in extra-time saw Mansfield avoid an FA Cup upset against National League side Dagenham & Redbridge.

Mansfield have only won one of their 14 matches in League Two this season but Maynard's desperately late winner was succour for manager Nigel Clough.

Jordan Bowery did well to find space on the left and his cross fell invitingly for Maynard to end Dagenham's bid to reach the third round for the first time in five seasons.

The Stags were forced to come from behind after Paul McCallum gave the visitors a first-half lead at Field Mill.

Myles Weston drove into the Mansfield half and slid a ball behind the defence for McCallum to run on to and finish superbly with a right-foot shot into the far corner from a tight angle.

But the home side soon levelled as Bowery found Harry Charlsey, who calmly side-footed home the equaliser.

Jamie Reid should have won the tie for Mansfield in normal time but he struck a powerful effort straight at Dagenham goalkeeper Elliot Justham, while Luke Croll headed over from point-blank range for the visitors to ensure another 30 minutes.

Dagenham had further chances in extra-time but Ryan Sweeney made a vital block to deny McCallum.

Clough sent on substitute keeper Aiden Stone in the 120th minute as penalties loomed before Maynard struck to send the Stags through.
