Harry Giles pulled the Stags level in the 75th minute. Godalmimg keeper Oliver Ballam made some smart saves as the Stags put the visitors under pressure for remaining 15 minutes.

Stags boss Andy Ewen was far from impressed with his troops, saying: “It feels like we’ve just gone through the motions.

“We’re in a good position – we’ve got a cup final to look forward to and we’re in the play offs, still looking for promotion. The lads have to show us more hunger and desire.”

Ben Collins saw a long range shot saved before hitting the post with a point blank header as United struggled to make clear chances.

Wittering took the lead following a fabulous ball from Robbie Courtman splitting the defence for Louca Keenoy to slot home.

Angmering hit back and took the lead with a half volley from a near post corner and a well directed header from a crossfield ball that sailed into the top corner past Tom Roxburgh.

On 36 minutes Collins was brought down and converted the penalty after the keeper was sent off for dissent.

Just before the break Keenoy was set free again to restore United’s lead, another cool finish with a low shot past the excellent stand-in keeper.

However Wittering’s defence were all at sea and the Village drew level once more.

United finished with nine players. Keenoy was seemingly brought down in the box but the penalty was not given and Burns saw red too.
