Crawley Town - without the suspended John Yems - slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Mansfield Town as James Tilley was sent off.

Goals midway through each half by Jamie Murphy and Lucas Akins gave the Stags the win and Tilley was sent off when he picked up a second yellow card 21 minutes from time.

It came just hours after new owners WAGMI United revealed John Yems had been suspended pending an investigation into discriminatory language and behaviour made to Crawley Town players.

The defeat at Mansfield means they are mathematically out of the race for the League Two players - though realistically that hope had gone before today.

Crawley have three matches left - starting with a visit to Sutton on Tuesday night.
