LAST TIME WE MET
The two rivals last met in October 2016 and Stags secured their third successive win over the Magpies with a 3-1 victory.Â
Striker Matt Green replaced Danny Rose in the 54th minute and immediately had an impact.Â
Fellow striker Pat Hoban headed the ball down for him and Green swivelled and saw his deflected shot find the back of the net with his first touch.Â
However, Notts got back on level terms in the 82nd minute when Alex Rodman’s deflected shot beat Scott Shearer in the Stags’ goal to set up a mouth-watering final few minutes.Â
Left-back Mal Benning was bundled over by Matt Tootle in the 90th minute and super-sub Green stepped up and hammered the ball in to the top corner.Â
Then, substitute Darius Henderson wrapped up the points with a goal in the 94th minute.
TOTAL DISTANCE
