Mansfield Town manager Nigel Clough hailed Tyler Roberts' goal as "the highlight of the day" in his side's 4-1 triumph over Blackpool.

The Stags' win saw them extend their League One unbeaten run to six games, with two successive away victories.

After Dion Charles' equaliser cancelled out Michael Smith's opening goal, Rhys Oates' score and an IImari Niskanen own goal were topped off by Roberts' sublime strike.

Speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham, Clough said: "That [Roberts' goal] was the highlight of the day for us in terms of the quality of the goal.

"To strike it that powerfully with your weak foot, it's an absolutely brilliant finish."

Roberts came on as a substitute after 74 minutes and the 27-year-old forward has featured more frequently in Clough's squad since they faced Bromley in October.

Clough said: "In the second half we created chances galore.

"We know what we're capable of. We've gone away from home twice in the last four days and scored seven goals in two very tough places."

Mansfield are ninth in League One on 18 points, with a goal difference of plus four but Clough urged his side to try and improve that further.

He added: "Let's be greedy on our goal difference so any chance we can to improve it, let's take it."

We asked for your thoughts after Friday's Premier League game between Ipswich and Nottingham Forest.

Here are some of your comments:

Ipswich fans

Matt: Good to hold on for a point. Two seasons ago in the Premier League we would have lost that game. Not sure Jaden Philogene is the same player he was last season. Not totally convinced by Emersonn. Julio Enciso is a seriously classy player. We look much better at the back than last time and yet again Christian Walton was outstanding.

Paddy: Went to the match - Town were quite lethargic and too many sloppy passes. A draw a decent result as Forest missed so many opportunities

Andrew: We keep showing we have the fight to get back into games when going behind, misplaced passes got the nerves going especially in 2nd half but thought we might steal the points in last few minutes. Happy to have another point in the bag.

Ricky: Extremely poor home performance. Gave the ball away far too often in dangerous positions. Struggled to get three successive passes together. They had no threat in the final third, and produced little worthy of note. They struggled with the Forest high press. Fortunate to get a point.

Nottingham Forest fans

Tucker: Good performance but lack a goalscorer. They're a good team with no end product. Difficult to play against. Unlucky against Palace and Arsenal. Definite red card for Diop though.

Andy: Really poor end product. We have better finishers than Delap. He's just not cutting it. Also what does Glasner see in NDoye? He was virtually invisible again. It's like playing with 10 men. We need finishers on from the start.

David: It's much worse if we were not creating chances and making multiple individual errors - those have been the issue in the past. If we took our chances we would have battered Crystal Palace and Ipswich and been five points better off - without even considering the VAR issues in other games. Creating chances gives me confidence we will be fine, and a good away point given the horrendous conditions I guess.

John: Forest are sleepwalking into a relegation battle. They can't carry on missing goalscoring chances like they are week after week after week. Every other aspect of their game is solid but the offensive part of their game is woeful to say the least and that is purely down to the players.
