Winchester's 2-2 draw at AFC Totton supplied further evidence that the champions may be losing their grip on the crown
Midfielder Matty Monk fired Totton into a fifth-minute lead and, when the Stags later came under the cosh, it was Nathan Golden who twice eaded off the line to deny Ian Mancey.
Mancey made it 1-1 on 28 minutes after Mat Jones's long throw had bounced menacingly in the Totton area and Winchester took the lead on the hour when Graeme Gee's cross was missed by a defender, leaving Jamie Musselwhite to fire home.
But Totton kept their unbeaten home league record intact when Steve Whitcher ran at City's new Eastleigh loan signing Danny Rofe and drilled a low shot past Simon Arthur.
