Moses Ashikodi scored three minutes from time to earn Kettering a draw against Mansfield at Field Mill.

The Stags took the lead on 20 minutes when full-back Kevin Sandwith curled a 25-yard free-kick into the top corner after Paul Connor was fouled.

Connor and Keigan Parker had chances to double Mansfield's lead but both were denied by keeper Nathan Abbey.

And they were made to pay as John Dempster crossed for Ashikodi to fire in from the edge of the penalty area.
