FT: Barnet 0 v 2 Chesterfield: LIVE UPDATES (7.45pm KO)

FT: Barnet 0 v 2 Chesterfield

The Spireites move 23 points clear at the top with 11 matches remaining. Really good away win against their nearest promotion rivals. First victory in four.

Third Town sub - 85 mins

Dobra off, Berry on.

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!

Second Towen sub - 76 mins

Jacobs off, Mandeville on.

2,393 (756 Spireites fans).

The linesman has just taken a tumble, and you can imagine, he didn't get much sympathy from anyone.

First Town sub - 65 mins

Quigley off, Grigg on.

Stead's dangerous header from a corner is blocked behind for another corner for the hosts.

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.

Referee Andrew Humphries signals for the second-half to get underway.

Chesterfield lead 1-0.

In front at the break

HT: Barnet 0 v 1 Chesterfield

Town are in front thanks to Jacobs' strike. They should be further in front after big chances for Naylor and Quigley. Barnet's Pritchard headed against the crossbar at 0-0.

From Clements who wins two great headers at the back post inn a couple of minutes to stop Barnet equalising.

Big chance for Quigley at the near post but he scuffed his finish. It was good link-up play between Sheckleford and Jones to create the chance.

Dobra finds Naylor on the edge of the six-yard box but instead of pulling the trigger he opts to pass but there was no one there to finish! Big chance!

GOOOOAAALLLL!!! 0-1

JACOBS!!!

Chesterfield take the lead just before the half-hour mark. Grimes clipped a great ball down the left to send Clements on his way. He then produced a lovely low cross to the far post which Jacobs tucked away. 0-1.

From Grimes to block a dangerous shot. He threw his body at the ball after Banks got caught in possession just inside his own box.
