McAllister joined Crawley on a free in the summer

Crawley overcame 10-man Mansfield to go top of the Blue Square Bet Premier.

Dannie Bulman's strike from 12 yards gave the Red Devils the lead before Keigan Parker levelled it up from the spot after being fouled by Pablo Mills.

The Stags' Rhys Day was shown a red card for a clash with Kyle McFadzean as the sides awaited a free kick.

The visitors piled on the pressure and were duly rewarded when two Craig McAllister headers sandwiched Matt Tubbs's smart finish to grab the win.
