UCHEGBULAM!!!
What a finish. Arrowed into the top corner after a brilliant exchange of passes with Clements. Chesterfield have a fourth in Devon. Ruthless finishing this half.
Good save by Fitzsimons
It was a superb strike from sub McGavin from distance but Fitzsimons did well to parry it and then De Silva was offside from the rebound.
Big let off
Fitzsimons comes rushing out and the ball bounces heavily off his chest, De Silva then has a chance to lob him with the keeper well off his line but he tried to cross it instead and it was a nothing attempt in the end.
GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! 1-3
CLEMENTS!!!
Chesterfield go 3-1 up on 57 minutes. Clements scores his first goal for the club, sweeping the ball home on his right foot from inside the box. There was a clever dummy from Dobra in the build-up. Nice move.
Torquay go close
The hosts counter from a Town corner and Hall fires a yard wide from the edge of the area.
GOOOAAALLL!!! 1-2
OLDAKER!!!
Chesterfield back in front on 49 minutes, 1-2. Short corner, King to Dobra to Oldaker, lovely curling finish from edge of the area. A beauty.
