Crawley Town boss John Yems reflects on 'magic' moment that sunk Mansfield Town in stoppage time

Crawley Town boss John Yems believed it would take just one moment to settle today's clash with Mansfield Town - and his side delivered in the final seconds.

Substitute James Tilley scored the only goal of the game in stoppage time as a point for both sides seemed the likely outcome.

"It was a tough game. They're a good side, very organised," Yems told the Red Devils' YouTube channel.

"I think both sides, you could tell, fixtures are catching up with a few teams now.

"At the end of the the day, I thought it was going to take a bit of magic or an unlucky goal to settle it and we got it."

Yems also praised his side for keeping a clean sheet against the side who beat previous League Two leaders Cheltenham Town 3-1 in midweek.

He added: "I keep saying it. If you start with a point and finish with one then in the last minute you've got a chance.

"We've got people coming on with a point to prove and a bit of quality, that's what happened."
