YORK City boss Russ Wilcox hailed a tremendous away performance after watching his ten-man team win 4-1 at Mansfield.
Following early goals by Keith Lowe and Shaq Coulthirst, keeper Bobby Olejnik was sent off for handling outside his area on 31 minutes.
But Jake Hyde extended the visitors’ lead after the break and, after Matt Rhead pulled a goal back, Coulthirst scored again to complete the rout.
A delighted Wilcox said: “To lose Bobby and play with ten men for an hour at an intimidating place like Mansfield and then score two more goals is a tremendous away performance. There were a few nervous moments at 3-1 because we are York City and we don’t ever do anything easy but we showed great commitment and organisation to complete a terrific job.”
