Mansfield Town v Grimsby Town - Krystian Pearce of Mansfield Town celebrates his first goal with Lee Angol - Pic By James Williamson

A brace from skipper Krystian Pearce and two Lee Angol penalties helped Stags wrap up their first win in four attempts.

It was nothing more than the home side had deserved during a match which they bossed throughout and displayed their full attacking potential.

Mansfield held a 1-0 lead going into the break before they turned on the second style to seal the points thanks to two goals inside seven minutes from Pearce and Angol’s late spot-kick.

The Mariners did spoil the day a touch after pulling a consolation goal back when Sam Jones scored yet another penalty with five minutes to go.
