Mansfield Town had to come from a goal down to beat Plymouth and win the battle of last season's promoted teams.

Micky Evans put Plymouth into the lead when he rose to head a Brian McGlinchey corner in off the underside of the bar.

But the visitors' lead lasted just eight minutes with Andy White latching onto Lee Williamson's cross to head home the equaliser.

Two goals inside five minutes early in the second half put Mansfield firmly in command at 3-1.

Craig Disley nodded home on 51 minutes before debut striker Colin Larkin raced clear onto Scott Sellars' through ball to score the third.

White scored his second with a solo effort on 67 minutes when he fired home from six yards.

Plymouth made the score respectable with two late goals.

David Friio scored before and substitute Nathan Lowndes added another with the last kick of the game.
