Port Vale 2-2 Mansfield: Nathan Smith rescues point for Valiants
Saturday 21 September 2019 20:51, UK
Nathan Smith's dramatic last-minute equaliser extended Port Vale's unbeaten home start to the Sky Bet League Two season as they recorded a 2-2 draw against Mansfield.
Danny Rose's 75th-minute penalty had separated the two sides at Vale Park, before Smith's last-gasp leveller.
Stags goalkeeper Conrad Logan made a fine early save to keep out Mark Cullen early on.
Down the other end, stopper Scott Brown could only parry CJ Hamilton's initial strike into the path of Kellan Gordon to slot home the opener after 14 minutes.
Rose should have doubled the visitors' advantage when he nodded wide.
