Chesterfield vs Oldham Athletic LIVE UPDATES

87’: Kitching booked after some fairly blatant time-wasting.

89’: King’s free kick is whipped across the box and is cleared for a corner. Norman is down on the ground and there is a break in play. Four minutes added on by the referee.

Oldaker’s cross is out for a goal kick - not much time left for Chesterfield to find an equaliser.

Uchegbulam loses the ball on the edge of the box. A frustrating afternoon here for the Spireites.

FULL TIME: Banks plays a promising cross into the box but no one connects, and that is full time. Chesterfield’s winless run extends to eight games - while Oldham move further away from the relegation zone.

Chesterfield saw lots of the ball and created chances, but lacked a cutting edge here today. Oldham took their best chance early on and defended well for much of the game. Chesterfield’s task does not get any easier in their next game - an away trip to Wrexham on Tuesday night.

Barnet’s 4-1 win over Aldershot has seen them leapfrog Chesterfield into fourth place. The Spireites still have two games in hand on Woking in third, but they are now seven points behind after they drew with Wealdstone.
