The Pilgrims were beaten 5-2 by EFL side Mansfield Town, despite forcing the match to extra-time at 2-2 and having a one-man advantage following Freddie Pitts' 90th minute red card.

Elliot Foster had given United a first half lead, with Pitts equalising before half-time - before Deakin and Ben Robson traded second half goals. Two further Deakin efforts in extra-time - to complete his hat-trick - sealed the deal for the Stags, before a last-gasp fifth from Max Hurdis.
