Wrexham players try to hold back James McClean as goading Mansfield fans try their best to jump a barrier, only to be stopped by stewards.
McClean could be seen exchanging words back and forth with the home fans after the FA Cup First Round clash.
A video has surfaced with McClean pointing his fingers at an opposition supporter, who takes to follow the Irishman towards the tunnel.
Wrexham players and staff try to diffuse the situation, holding their teammate back.
McClean often receives jeers, especially around the time of Remembrance Weekend over his decision to not wear a poppy.
Yet, the home fans’ attempts to taunt their opponents didn’t stop Wrexham from advancing through to the Second Round, thanks to goals from Paul Mullin and Sam Dalby.
The Stags saw Rhys Oates return back to the starting lineup, and get a goal back with an excellent strike on the hour shortly after Mullin scored.
Speaking to iFollow Stags after the match, he said: “Yeah without a doubt [the finishing was the difference between the teams].
“I thought we had more situations and opportunities [to score] than they did. We didn’t hit the target enough and we certainly didn’t finish [enough of our chances].
“We didn’t make the [opposition] goalkeeper work enough.
“They put two great finishes away. One into the top corner and then Mullin curled another one in. There was an element of misfortune for the second one, certainly.
“I think it’s fair to say we haven’t had a break in the last couple of games in the penalty area. But, we have to be better, we’re creating the chances.”
Nigel was pleased with his side’s effort and general play in the contest.
He added: “I thought we started the second-half brilliantly. I thought they played well in the first-half, they were just a bit fresher than us.
“[The players] Have given absolutely everything, they were absolutely on their knees down there so I can’t ask any more of them.
“They [Wrexham] won’t have had many tougher games than they’ve had tonight.
“We’re just going to totally focus now on the league. No excuses now, [we’ll give] every single league game [our] full attention.”
Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson said: “I am immensely delighted.
“Mansfield have been flying high apart from Tuesday’s defeat. Before that they were unbeaten in 19 games, so I thought tonight we were immense.
“The two goals we scored were really good, particularly the first one and we had other chances in the first half. I know they did too, but we had some clinical moments of great football which we didn’t quite capitalise on.
“I said before the game that it was important we respected the history of Wrexham AFC in the FA Cup.
“The FA Cup means a great deal to Wrexham, who have a great tradition with it.
“So it was important we put in a performance our supporters who made the long trip and the ones back home watching on TV could be very proud of – and I think we’ve done that.”
