The hosts have not really kicked-on since equalising.

Five to the break, 1-1.

Williams lets fly with a half-volley from just inside the area but Dover keeper Andre does well to get fingertips on it and it goes behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.

1-1 after 33 minutes.

GOOOOAAAALLL!!! 1-1

KHAN!!

Oyeleke makes up for his mistake with a good run through midfield, Khan then finishes across the keeper from inside the area. His sixth goal of the season, first since November. 1-1.

24 played.

Goal for Dover: 0-1

Gyasi pounces on a mistake by Oyeleke on the edge of the box before his finish takes a deflection and goes in.

14 minutes played.

By Mandeville, who has started this game really well.

He played a lovely reverse pass into the on-running Whittle inside the area but he just couldn’t quite reach it.

Has another attempt at goal, this time dragging a shot wide from around the edge of the box.

Seven minutes gone, 0-0.

Mandeville beats his man in the box and shoots towards goal but his effort brushes the side-netting.

It came about after a nice switch of play from Khan over to King on the right.

A decent chance.

Has started on the left of Chesterfield’s back three, with Maguire in the middle.
