MANSFIELD TOWN manager Nigel Clough believes two key second-half refereeing decisions by Lewis Smith decided the game, as Davis Keillor-Dunn’s goal was disallowed for robbing Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo and the penalty was awarded for Jordan Bowery’s challenge on Luke Bolton.

“I thought there were two key decisions in the second half that made the difference in the game,” said Clough, whose side host Accrington tomorrow afternoon. “I can’t see if he’s (Okonkwo) just got the ball in his hands or he’s just dropped it, he’s very close to the edge of the box anyway and you’ve seen them let go.

“The second one, he’s two yards outside the penalty area, there’s absolutely no excuse whatsoever for getting that one wrong.

“A young referee today who has had Premier League experience I believe – maybe he was waiting for VAR, I’m not sure! I wish we’d have had it today, it would have ruled the penalty out and we’re still in the game.”

Stockport moved back to the top of the table after winning 3-0 at bottom-of-the-table Forest Green. County host Wimbledon tomorrow.

Crewe, who entertain Forest Green, drew 0-0 at Gillingham while MK Dons, who head to Notts County tomorrow, hammered Walsall 5-0.
