Deji Oshilaja’s own gave Burton the lead after he was unlucky to turn home Charlie Webster’s cross. But the bigger headline to the goal was the shocking defending which saw Stags fail to clear their lines more than once in the build-up.
Burton double the lead in the 28th minute when Jack Armer headed home at the back post after no-one picked him up.
Michael Smith pulled on back just before the break after getting on the end of Nathan Mariah-Welsh’s superb cross.
Lucas Akins levelled the game on 70 minutes to set up a grandstand finish.

16. Rhys Oates (on for Thompson 53) - 6
Added an extra dimension to the Stags attack following his introduction offering decent width and pace down the flanks, though they were too often fleeting moments of what he had to offer. Photo: UGC
