FA Cup highlights: Doncaster Rovers 2-3 Mansfield Town
Mansfield fought back to compound the woes of managerless Doncaster by dumping them out of the FA Cup.
George Lapslie's brace and Will Forrester's strike saw the League Two side overturn a half-time deficit after Branden Horton had put Doncaster ahead in the second round tie.
In their first game since dismissing Richie Wellens as manager, the League One side made a strong start when Horton slotted in after seven minutes.
But Mansfield equalised in the 48th minute when a corner was flicked on by Lapslie and Forrester nodded in at the back post.
The goal gave the visitors a significant lift and they went ahead on the hour when Lapslie finished well from a tight angle.
Mansfield had their tails up and went further ahead after 70 minutes when Lapslie capped off a sweeping team move with a fine finish.
Tommy Rowe drilled in from 20 yards after a well-worked free-kick routine with six minutes left to put some doubt on the outcome, but Mansfield held on.
