Keith Curle’s side looked on course to secure a third straight win after Jack Hamilton headed his first league goal for the club to give Pools a first half lead.
But Nigel Clough’s Stags responded in the second half as Rhys Oates fired an early equaliser before Ollie Hawkins completed the turnaround on the hour to leave Pools three points above the bottom two.
And here is how Pools were rated in defeat:
