A hat-trick by Antoni Sarcevic with the third coming in injury-time saw Fleetwood emerge 5-4 victors after an astonishing match against Mansfield.

The visitors thought they had done enough for a point when Ross Dyer levelled in the 89th minute but Fleetwood earned an injury-time penalty for a foul on Matty Blair and Sarcevic scored his second from the spot to complete his treble.

The win enabled Fleetwood to maintain their promotion challenge with the top three - who are all one point ahead on 32 points - all victorious.
