BILLY Kee scored a stoppage time winner as Accrington Stanley defeated Mansfield Town at the Wham Stadium on Saturday.

The scores were level at 1-1 after goals from Kayden Jackson and Lee Angol, before Kee netted in the dying seconds of the contest.

Stanley manager John Coleman was pleased to get the win, and felt that Mansfield made things extremely difficult for his team.
