The Gunners had to dig deep to secure victory over the hosts. Arsenal took the lead in the 41st minute through Noni Madueke.
The winger latched onto Gabriel Martinelli's pass inside the penalty area before unleashing a left-footed shot that Mansfield Town goalkeeper Liam Roberts failed to stop. Arsenal maintained the 1-0 scoreline at halftime.
Entering the second half, Mansfield Town immediately responded. The third-tier Premier League team managed to equalize in the 50th minute through Will Evans.
The goal came from an interception of Arsenal defender Marli Salmon's pass in the penalty area. Evans, who had just come on as a substitute, then skipped past Cristhian Mosquera before firing into the right corner of Kepa Arrizabalaga's goal.
Arsenal regained the lead in the 66th minute through Eberechi Eze. The Englishman scored with a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area that beat the Mansfield Town goalkeeper.
