FT: Chesterfield 1 v 3 York City

First defeat in eight in for the Spireites Conceded twice and hardly created anything of note in the second-half.

A real blow to their hopes of finishing third.

Final Town sub - 88 minutes

Uchegbulam comes on for Palmer.

Chesterfield look like they have run out of ideas and heading for a first defeat in eight games.

McLaughlin finds the bottom corner from the edge of the box after Banks headed away a corner.

73 on the clock.

Double Town sub - 70 minutes

Asante and Quigley replace Dallas and McCallum.

From Town, who win a couple of corners.

The visitors take the lead and it’s a mistake from Fitzsimons. He tries to clear up field, it goes straight to Duckworth, and he fires it in from distance.

Chesterfield have it all to do now.

For York’s Hancox for pulling the shirt of Jones on halfway.

Here we go in the second-half.
