Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two clash between Mansfield and Port Vale.

CJ Hamilton earned Mansfield a late 2-2 home draw with Port Vale after the Stags had looked dead and buried.

Trailing 2-0 with nine minutes left, Nicky Maynard pulled one back before Hamilton struck in the third of four added minutes.

On 29 minutes Hamilton's mis-hit finish on James Clarke's cross saw the ball run to Danny Rose in space, who blazed over.

Three minutes later David Amoo sent a close-range free header wide from David Worrall's near-post cross.

But Vale were ahead on 53 minutes as Nathan Smith got forward to turn home a low right-wing cross by Amoo from six yards.

The unmarked Rose should have levelled just five minutes later but sidefooted wide from 10 yards from a low Hamilton cross.

Instead Vale doubled their advantage on 66 minutes as Leon Legge finally forced home after a close-range scramble from a Worrall corner.

Substitute Maynard gave the Stags hope on 81 minutes as he instinctively drilled home first time from Cristian Montano's miscued clearance in the box.

And in added time Hamilton strode onto a Jacob Mellis pass on the left and drilled hard and low through everyone and inside the far post.
