Kidderminster Harriers clawed their way back to earn a 3-3 draw after going behind to a first half hat-trick from Mansfield striker Jake Speight.

Speight's opening goal came from the edge of the area and he followed it up with two close-range strikes.

Harriers emerged from the interval in defiant mood as Jack Byrne netted from Brian Smikle's corner on 51 minutes.

Daryl Knights added a second shortly after before Chris McPhee's 25-yard strike snatched the visitors a point.
