Stags made it three League One wins on the spin after beating Northampton 2-0 at Sixfields.

Will Evans and Aaron Lewis scored second half goals after Christy Pym kept Stags in the contest with an outstanding display of goalkeeping.

Here is how our match reporter Stephen Thirkill rated each Stags player. Take a look and see if you agree. (*Subs after 85 minutes are not given a rating)

Simply outstanding and possibly Pym's best ever performance in a Stags shirt. Made a number of outstanding saves throughout, including a game-changing penalty save from Tariqe Fosu in the first half. Set the tone for a memorable display in the opening seconds with a briliant one-on-one stop to keep out Mitch Pinnock.

Had a sloppy opening ten minutes or so, including a near disasterous back-page in the opening seconds. Turned it around well after that to defend solidly.

2. Elliott Hewitt - 7

Confident and solid. Made a great last-ditch recovery tackle on 11 minutes to deny a goalscoring chance, which summed up a 'there when you needed him' display.

Showed plenty of strength on the ball and stood up well to the physical test. Hit the post start of second half.
