Wycombe 1-0 Mansfield

Tuesday 26 November 2024 22:25, UK

Leaders Wycombe made it 10 wins in a row as a Luke Leahy cross-shot in stoppage time secured a 1-0 victory over Mansfield.

The Chairboys went into their first league match at Adams Park in exactly a month off the back of seven consecutive wins in the division.

In a flat opening 45 minutes, Fred Onyedinma, Richard Kone and Garath McCleary did their best to try and stretch the Stags' defence to no avail.

The Chairboys' two best chances of the first half fell to Aaron Morley, but his bending effort was easily gathered by Christy Pym, while Cameron Humphreys also went close from inside the six-yard box.

The second period saw Wycombe go through the gears but a stop-start half due to small fouls being given away made it a choppy 45 for both teams.

The introduction of Brandon Hanlan and Dan Udoh in the latter stages added that much-needed pace up top as Wanderers started to tire, but this gave Nigel Clough's team a bit of a push up top.

Franco Ravizzoli was on hand to deny an Aaron Lewis free-kick in the final 15 minutes which was the Stags' first shot on target.

It looked like Wycombe were going to settle for a point, but in the last seconds of the contest, Leahy's cross-shot looped over Pym and into the top corner.

Adams Park erupted with joy, as Wycombe made it eight league wins in a row and 10 in all competitions.

This means the Chairboys remain top of the League One table, four points clear of second-place Wrexham.
