Manchester United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop missed out on the chance to add a promotion to his CV after Mansfield Town lost 3-0 to Port Vale in the League Two play-off final at Wembley on Saturday afternoon.
Fresh from seeing off Northampton Town in their play-off semi-final, the Stags travelled to Wembley with a feeling of confidence flowing through their veins. However, they had no answer for Darrell Clarke's side, as they found themselves 2-0 down with just 24 minutes on the clock.
Youngster Kian Harratt fired Vale into a 20th-minute lead before former United striker James Wilson got in on the act, netting his third goal in as many games just four minutes later. Already facing an uphill struggle, Mansfield's woes were compounded even further 10 minutes before half-time when Oliver Hawkins was sent-off for a second bookable offence.
