George Lapslie’s second half header saw the Black Cats knocked out at the first round stage for the second year running as the fourth tier side claimed their first win of the season.
So did any players emerge with credit from the clash?
Scroll down and click through the pages as Phil Smith dishes out his merit marks:
1. Remi Matthews
Little he could do about the goal, and had made a decent stop in the minutes before that. Came through a very edgy start, looking comfortable in the main after some nervous early moments. 5 Photo: FRANK REID 2020
2. Conor McLaughlin
Moved into the centre of defence and did well enough for the most part, with one very important second half clearance keeping his side in the game. 6 Photo: FRANK REID 2020
3. Dion Sanderson
Some uncertain moments in possession and was caught out too often defensively. A disappointment that he wasn’t able to get forward more and show his pace. 5 Photo: Frank Reid
4. Tom Flanagan
A vocal presence in the absence of Bailey Wright. Caught out once or twice in the second half as Mansfield played well on the counter. 5 Photo: Frank Reid
