Alfie Rutherford's two goals doubled his haul for the season
Alfie Rutherford scored twice as relegation-threatened Dorking boosted their National League survival hopes by stunning runaway leaders Chesterfield with a thumping 4-1 win at Meadowbank.
Daniel Pybus bobbled home from just inside the 18-yard box to give Wanderers a ninth-minute lead before Rutherford's angled drive into the bottom left corner doubled the advantage.
Ash Palmer halved the deficit in first-half added time by heading in Liam Mandeville's cross.
But Tom Blair capitalised on an error from Spireites captain Jamie Grimes to restore the Surrey side's two-goal lead within three minutes of the restart.
Rutherford sealed a resounding success in the 66th minute, racing clear from inside his own half following a mistake by Jeff King to slot between the legs of Chesterfield goalkeeper Harry Tyrer - and condemn the leaders to only their fifth and heaviest league defeat of the season.
