TSHIMANGA!!!
Chesterfield get their third and Tshimanga bags his second of the game and his 21st of the season. Kellermann, only just on, plays King in down the right and he squared for Kabs to finish.
Whittle
Has really made a difference since coming on for Town at the break. He is bombing on and getting into some great positions.
GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! 0-2
ASANTE!!!
Chesterfield lead 2-0 after 58 minutes. There was a scramble after King’s corner was not fully cleared and Asante buried it at the far post. Two in two for him.
Almost a second goal
King blasts towards goal from distance on his left foot but Oxborough tips wide. So close!
GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!! 0-1
TSHIMANGA!!!
Goal number 20 for Tshimanga who gives Town the lead on 49 minutes. It came on the counter-attack. Mandeville puts Whittle in and he lays it on a plate for Kabs to finish.
Chance for Barnet
Beard heads over from close-range from Hall’s inswinging cross. Should have at least hit the target there.
Spireites HT sub
Miller comes off and is replaced by Whittle.
Miller had a frustrating half and James Rowe was in his ear in that opening 45 minutes.
