Five to the break
Whittle goes into the book for a high-foot. Seemed harsh because he didn’t even see his man coming.
Stockport pressure
The hosts have responded well since going two goals down.
Chesterfield need to get to half-time without conceding.
Controversy!
Ooooooft. Chesterfield may have just gone away with one there. Ash Palmer’s header from a corner possibly crossed the line but Town scramble it clear and it is not given. Home fans and bench not happy.
GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!! 0-2
ASANTE!!!
Chesterfield are in dreamland! Asante doubles the lead with a low, driven finish from the edge of the box on his left foot. Both goals in front of the travelling Spireites fans who go absolutely nuts.
