The hosts Accrington had Peter Murphy sent off for a poor challenge on Dan Gardner, but Town could only pull one goal back when Ian Evatt found the net in the second half.

The two sides have each won five of the 12 fixtures they’ve had since 2007 and all five of Chesterfield’s victories have come at home.
