CITY made it three wins on the bounce with a gutsy comeback at Mansfield.

T&A chief sports writer SIMON PARKER was at the One Call Stadium and provides the match stats and player ratings from a memorable afternoon.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Charles Vernam took a while to get into his stride but then ripped Mansfield to shreds with a devastating second-half display with one stunning goal and playing a huge part in the other.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

It just had to be Andy Cook with the winner didn’t it? And the scenes afterwards behind the goal were marvellous.

MOAN OF THE MATCH

City did not get tight enough in the build-up to both Mansfield goals.

TACTICS

With Lee Angol injured, City reverted to a 4-2-3-1 set-up with Yann Songo’o making his first start in central midfield alongside Elliot Watt.
