Newport have not won in League Two since the second game of the season

Newport County's miserable run continued as they fell to a ninth loss in 10 games with a heavy 4-1 defeat at Chesterfield in League Two.

Will Grigg gave the home side the lead on 33 minutes with a header from Liam Mandeville's cross.

Chesterfield doubled their lead two minutes before half-time when Will Dickson ran from his own half before cutting inside and firing past Nik Tzanev.

Substitute Michael Spellman gave County hope but Ronan Darcy restored the hosts' two-goal advantage, before Dilan Markanday scored a fourth to seal victory.

Despite defeat, County remain outside the League Two relegation zone while Chesterfield are sixth.
