Chesterfield 4-1 Scunthorpe United

  • Published

Chesterfield moved to within four points of second-placed Wrexham with a comfortable 4-1 win over bottom side Scunthorpe despite having to come from behind.

The visitors took the lead in the 20th minute when Cameron Wilson followed up to score after Alfie Beestin's shot was parried by goalkeeper Ross Fitzsimons.

However, the Spireites were level within seven minutes thanks to Armando Dobra's half-volley.

Akwasi Asante's fifth of the season in first-half added time, after scoring with a shot on the turn, put them ahead.

But the hosts had to wait until the final 10 minutes to make things safe through Jeff King's brilliant free-kick, and Kabongo Tshimanga's goal after running through on to a ball over the top.
