How the action unfolded

FT: Chesterfield 2 v 1 Gateshead

The Spireites cement their place in third. Back-to-back home wins. Unbeaten in five in all comps. Back on track.

Reaction coming up.

For Gateshead’s Martin for clashing with King.

Final sub - 81 minutes

Dobra off, Cooper on.

King sends Mandeville clear on goal. He is slightly to the right and probably should have squared it for Tshimanga for a tap-in but instead he opted to shoot and blasted it wide. Wrong decision from Mandeville, who has been excellent tonight.
