Mark Stallard struck a late equaliser as Mansfield came from 2-0 down to earn a draw at Ebbsfleet.

Michael Gash put Ebbsfleet ahead with a strike that eluded Paddy Gamble before Stacey Long doubled their lead with a brilliant 25-yard effort.

Michael Blackwood pulled a goal back for the Stags with a curling strike into the top right-hand corner.

And with full-time looming, Blackwood turned provider, with Stallard heading home his cross.
