GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! 0-2

GRIGG!!!

Chesterfield double their lead just before the 80-minute mark. Naylor does brilliantly to get to the byline and his cross is turned in possibly via the chest of Grigg or it might have been an own goal.

Either way, Chesterfield lead 2-0!

Through Naylor, who nicks the ball in his own half and drives forward. It end in the Blues winning a corner, which Grimes won at the back post, heading it into the ground, but it was cleared.
