McLaughlin sent in a low cross from the left. Murphy's low forward ball into the box was deflected into the path of Longstaff who was onside and only had McGee to beat. On 73 minutes Wilson got to the right by-line and pulled back a low ball that saw Aitchison poke a low finish at goal that Bishop got down to grab. The keeper blocked his first effort but the ball ran back to Longstaff to roll into the empty net. Rovers then threatened on 53 minutes as Adams got into the left of the box but flashed a shot over the far angle. McLaughlin was given the game's first booking on 37 minutes for a trip on Wilson as he tried to get into the right of the box.

Forest Green became League Two champions while Mansfield are headed for the playoffs after an entertaining draw in the East Midlands.

A wonderful display as the Stags head into the play-offs. Almost instantly, Forest Green got the goal they needed to win the League Two crown. The lead was nearly doubled as Oates' ball at the near post was directed on goal by McLaughlin. However, the ball rolled just wide as Mansfield held a one-goal advantage heading into halftime.

News filtered through that James Wilson had given Port Vale the lead at Exeter. The away end erupted. There was no way the players couldn't have been aware of ...

There were no doubt a few farewells at the end of the game, but what a way to go out for any of those departing The New Lawn this summer. City were 2/7 to win the title with bookmakers before a ball was kicked on Saturday. Some Rovers supporters – many in fancy dress costumes, ranging from Willy Wonka to Hulk Hogan – thought it was game over anyway. 24 years after they last won a league title, Forest Green added another to their cabinet. Mansfield started the day with an outside shot of automatic promotion (they needed to win and for Northampton and Bristol Rovers to drop points), but securing the play-offs was their primary concern. Four minutes were added on for stoppages at the end of the game, and a quite bizarre sequence followed. They couldn’t risk going for the win, losing the game and falling out of the play-offs altogether. Dom Bernard led a rendition of “Everywhere we go, people want to know,”. The whole away end sang back at the local lad of the title-winning side. Jordan Moore-Taylor and Kane Wilson asked about the whereabouts of the trophy. Rovers were back at the top. But Forest Green headed into the final day in the role of hunters. Even if they didn’t want to know – the travelling supporters were letting them know. Mansfield started brightly and took the lead after 17 minutes.
