Tyler Walker bags second-half brace as Mansfield strike back at Stevenage
Posted Sunday, December 23, 2018 by PA
Tyler Walker was Mansfield’s match-winner as his brilliant second-half brace secured a battling 3-1 comeback win at Stevenage.
Striker Danny Newton gave the U’s the lead in first-half injury time at the Lamex Stadium.
But Stoke City loanee Ryan Sweeney levelled for the visitors in the 55th minute and then Walker pounced twice in the space of nine minutes to complete a spirited turnaround from the Stags.
Newton’s close-range finish – his fourth league goal of the season – gave the hosts a deserved lead after they enjoyed the better of the possession earlier on.
However, Sweeney equalised with his first goal for Mansfield before Walker’s late double.
Walker, on loan from Nottingham Forest, picked out the bottom right-hand corner with a sweet strike to put David Flitcroft’s side ahead for the first time in the contest.
And the 22-year-old bagged a second four minutes from time to seal all three points.
Walker has now scored nine league goals in a prosperous spell with the Stags, having found the net 13 times in all competitions.
