Shrewsbury Town lost their fourth straight away league game as Mansfield came from behind to win 2-1 at Field Mill.
Town had not scored a goal away from home yet this season before the clash at Field Mill, but that changed when Leo Castledine gave Paul Hurst's side the lead in the second minute.Luca Hoole's cross was half-cleared by Deji Oshilaja and it fell to the Chelsea loanee at the back post as he finished past Christy Pym.
It was Castledine's second goal in a Town shirt and he arguably should have had a third moments later when he headed wide from Funso Ojo's corner - it was a free header inside the six-yard box. The first 35 minutes of the clash was as well as Town had played all season. They looked assured in possession, a lot of which they had in the host's final third, but could not quite capitalise on that advantage to give themselves a two-goal buffer.The hosts came into the game more as the half wore on as Lee Gregory and Stephen McLaughlin saw efforts go wide from set pieces.
On the stroke of half-time, Mansfield had a chance to equalise, Keanu Baccus getting the better of Mal Benning but his effort was blocked on the line by a combination of Toto Nsiala and Morgan Feeney.The hosts were level within four minutes of the second half, though.Toto Nsiala with a moment he would not want to see again in a hurry. He took down Lee Gregory in the Town penalty area when the forward was heading away from goal.
And almost instantly, they were made to pay for that when substitute Aaron Lewis raced through to put Mansfield in front for the first time in the clash and despite seven minutes added on, it finished 2-1.Shrews: Savin, Hoole, Nsiala , M Feeney, Benning, Ojo, Winchester, Castledine , Sagoe Jr , Gilliead, Lloyd.
