Barrow 1 Mansfield 3

NIGEL CLOUGH felt victory with 10 men was the best of his side’s winning run.

Rhys Oates, Stephen McLaughlin and Jordan Bowery scored as the Stags shrugged off Farrend Rawson’s dismissal.

Clough said: “When you win in those circumstances, there is an immense amount of significance. To get the victory with 10 men just further adds to anything we already had.”

Jamie Jones scored Barrow’s goal but manager Mark Cooper warned his defenders: “I have stuck by them all season but that was horrendous.”
