Crow's late penalty was his 20th goal of the season

A late Danny Crow penalty handed 10-man Cambridge the win against Mansfield.

The U's took the lead when Josh Coulson headed in Jai Reason's cross but their lead lasted just a minute as Jake Speight fired home to make it even.

Cambridge took the lead again from a Lee Phillips header but a 20-yard strike from Kyle Nix cancelled it out.

David Partridge saw red after two yellow cards but Crow's penalty sealed the win for the U's, with Jon Shaw missing from the spot minutes later.
