Mansfield Town 1 Carlisle United 1: Carlisle United were denied victory at Mansfield after Offrande Zanzala s latest goal was cancelled out by Stephen McLaughlin s free-kick. Frontman Zanzala got his fourth in three games when Jon Mellish s deflected shot fell his way, and he rifled it high past keeper Aidan Stone. That was the 65th-minute breakthrough - but Mansfield equalised 15 minutes later. It came after Magnus Norman could not hold onto a cross under pressure, and United then conceded a free-kick on the edge of their box when Callum Guy s challenge was penalised by ref Trevor Kettle. McLaughlin stepped up and drove the 19-yard free-kick low into the net.
