Davis Keillor-Dunn was Mansfield’s hero with a late brace as they twice came from behind to beat classy Stockport 3-2 in a Sky Bet League Two thriller.

An entertaining first half saw Stockport slice down the centre with a series of passes on six minutes, with Will Collar finally delivering to Louie Barry for a low finish into the bottom left corner.

Nine minutes later Stephen Quinn put the ball in from the left and George Maris reacted quickly to guide home an equaliser first time from eight yards.

However, Stockport were ahead again on 25 minutes as unchallenged Fraser Horsfall rose at the far post to bury a header from Ibou Touray’s corner across Christy Pym.

Four minutes later Keillor-Dunn controlled a George Williams cross but saw his finish hit the top of the bar from 10 yards.

Just before the break Pym ran out of his box to clear the ball but instead gifted it to Barry who, with an open goal to hit, was wide from 35 yards.

Ben Hinchliffe made two brilliant saves to deny Keillor-Dunn and Maris in the 69th minute.

However Keillor-Dunn saw his low 18 yard shot find the net via a big deflection from a 70th-minute corner.

Nine minutes later he collected a pass from Stephen Quinn and curled a superb 16-yard finish across goalkeeper Hinchliffe and inside the far post to win it for Mansfield.
