JOE Lumsden came off the bench to net his 10th goal of the season and salvage Tadcaster a dramatic late point in a 1-1 draw with AFC Mansfield in the Evo-Stik League East Division.

Lumsden’s late strike cancelled out an early penalty from Charlie Dawes as the points were shared at the i2i Stadium.

Both sides will have a taste of disappointment post-match with the Brewers squandering many chances and dominating throughout but AFC Mansfield were seconds away from seeing out the win.

Simon Collins made just a single change to the team that impressively won 5-1 at Cleethorpes Town a fortnight ago as Jack Walters replaced Aaron Hardy coming in for his first start since mid-September.

On a blustery afternoon in Yorkshire, it was an end-to-end start with both sides putting together dangerous attacks in the opening minutes.

One of those attacks led to the visitors being awarded a penalty as Ellis Barkworth was adjudged to have nudged Phillip Buxton in the back. Charlie Dawes stepped up and confidently converted the spot-kick high into the back of the net.

The Bulls went close to doubling their lead on nine minutes and it was that man again, Buxton, he couldn’t beat Ingham from close range after Pat Lindley flicked a corner on.

Taddy grabbed control of the contest as Paddy Miller’s free-kick was almost spilled into his own net by Mansfield keeper Tom Crosby.

Their first big chance came soon after in the 17th minute as Billy Whitehouse teed up Jake Rose inside the penalty area but the defensive midfielder fired narrowly over the bar.

The chances began to flow for the home side as Pete Davidson went even closer than Rose two minutes later. The central midfielder was set off on his travels by Aiden Savory and he glided across the turf all the way from the half-way line to the six-yard box only to crash a shot off the near post.

After a number of yellow cards were issued to both teams, Crosby was called into action once more for the visitors smartly pushing away Whitehouse’s free-kick.

The Bulls were riding their luck as another glorious chance wasn’t pounced on by Taddy. A superb deep cross from Rose was met by Chris Howarth at the back post but Savory was caught a little flat-footed and couldn’t turn in from a couple yards out.

Taddy continued where they left off in the first half as the intensity continued to increase.

Man of the match Crosby made two important stops nine minutes into the half, firstly to deny Whitehouse’s left-footed strike before Miller bent low towards the far corner only to be kept out with another strong hand.

Lumsden was introduced on the hour mark in place of Aiden Savory.

Harry Coates went close to netting his second goal in successive games as he flicked on a Miller free-kick only to see the ball drop just the wrong side of the post.

It looked like it was just going to be one of those days when substitute Lamin Colley had the beating of Crosby only for the header to trickle wide once again.

However, deep into injury time, Tadcaster eventually equalised to salvage a point. With bodies everywhere in the box, Casey Stewart showcased outstanding vision to slide a cute ball into Lumsden, who smashed powerfully into the roof of the net from six yards out.
