Second goal for Wrexham: 0-2
Palmer bundles in from a corner. Loach claims for a foul but it is not given.
BIG chance for Asante!
Maguire’s deep cross from the right is flicked on by Quigley and Asante is free at the far post but he shoots straight at Lainton from a few yards out. It looked like it took him by surprise and he could not get the ball out of his feet.
Goal for Wrexham: 0-1
Palmer heads Wrexham into the lead on 57 minutes.
A cross came in from the right to the far post, Davies shoots at goal which Loach does really well to parry, but Cleworth was there to head the ball back across goal and Palmer nodded it in.
Some Wrexham fans try and get on the pitch and flare is thrown.
Big penalty appeal
For Wrexham as Hall-johnson goes down in the box under a challenge from Loach. That looked very close. Might have got away with one there.
Embarrassing miss
Chesterfield are let massively off the hook as Palmer puts the ball over the bar from six yards with just Loach to beat. It’s almost like he had too much time to think about it. Everyone in the ground thought that was a certain goal.
