Chesterfield 2-2 Torquay United

  • Published

Late goals from Armani Little and Tom Lapslie helped Torquay to rescue a draw at Chesterfield and prevent the Spireites from returning to the top of the National League.

The home side looked to have secured both points courtesy of two second-half goals from striker Kabongo Tshimanga, but they were undone in stoppage-time.

The Spireites had the better chances in a goalless first half thanks largely to Tshimanga who created opportunities for Jak McCourt and Stefan Payne.

Home goalkeeper Scott Loach pulled off two fine saves from Klaidi Lolos just before the break to keep the visitors out and Tshimanga took centre stage in the second half.

On the hour, winger Calvin Miller fired in a low cross which goalkeeper Shaun MacDonald could not hold and the former Boreham Wood forward was on hand to tap into the net.

George Carline had his header saved by MacDonald on 74 minutes and Tshimanga was once more in the right place to grab his second.

Midfielder Little fired a shot past Loach on 89 minutes which looked little more than consolation.

But his corner in the fifth minute of stoppage-time found Lapslie at the near post and he slotted a dramatic equaliser.
