Early sub-Brandon Smalley gave the visitors the lead 10 minutes before the break, but Taylor’s angled strike from the left corner of the penalty area shortly before the hour capped a fine team move to equalise for Totton.

Attack-minded substitutions from the home manager and the late dismissal of Gloucester’s Daniel Leadbitter for a second bookable offence had The Stags looking more likely winners, but City held on to retain the league’s top spot.
