Full-time
FT: Halifax 2 v 0 Chesterfield
Spireites pay the price for not taking their chances when they were on top. Top three looks a long-shot now.
Goal for Halifax: 2-0
Warburton’s strike takes a deflection and Loach is wrong-footed. Cruel on Chesterfield this.
King fires wide
After another good Town counter. It was on his left foot and the ball was bobbling all over in the box. Chesterfield much the better side here.
