Hartlepool United 0 v 1 Chesterfield: LIVE UPDATES (3pm)

FT: Hartlepool United 0 v 1 Chesterfield Dobra's early volley is enough for the Spireites to collect all three points. Professional second-half. Didn't give the hosts a sniff after the break.

Another goal ruled out

Naylor has the ball in the bet but it's ruled out for offside.

What a tackle from Naylor!

Naylor's last-ditch tackle saves Chesterfield and denies Cooke, who was about to pull the trigger in the box.

Dobra and Berry counter down the left. Berry breaks into the area, he squares for Grigg, it's cut-out, but it falls to Mandeville, who swings a left peg at it, but it is blocked.

Chesterfield still 1-0 up.

Hartlepool have not threatened at all in this half.

Third Spireites sub - 80

Quigley off, Grigg on.

Berry's low cross/shot is just off target and nobody is there to tap home at the back post.

For Hancox. Eight bookings in total. Four for each team.

4,611 (989 Chesterfield fans).

Chesterfield subs - 70

Horton off, Freckleton on.

Banks off, Berry on.

The referee felt he was time-wasting with a goal-kick. Gone a bit card-happy, Aaron Bannister.

Dobra does ever so well to drive into the box, he finds Banks, who manages to squeeze a shot in on goal but Dixon was behind it.

For showing his frustration at the referee.

For bringing down Banks.

Mandeville delivers a deep corner and Grimes meets it but it goes into the side-netting.

Chesterfield on top in this first 15 minutes of the second-half.

For Brennan for a foul on Dobra, who is playing ever so well. The ball is stuck to his foot.

Goal ruled out for Town

Banks challenged in the air with keeper Dixon, the ball fell to Dobra who slotted in, but a foul was given. It looked pretty clear. No major complaints from the visitors.
