Notts County 3-0 Chesterfield

  • Published

Notts County kept themselves in the National League play-off shake-up with victory over Chesterfield at Meadow Lane.

The Magpies went close after nine minutes when Connell Rawlinson headed a cross from Enzio Boldewijn back across goal and the ball hit the post, before the Dutchman then saw his free-kick crash against the crossbar.

The visitors were awarded a penalty in the 39th minute for a foul on David Buchanan by Alex Lacey. County keeper Ross Fitzsimons, though, saved Scott Boden's spot-kick down to his left.

The home side took the lead in the 51st minute when Boldewijn charged forward to drive a 20-yard effort into the top corner.

Chesterfield, though, were almost soon back on level terms when Tom Denton's half-volley hit the crossbar.

County then doubled their lead just before the hour when Kyle Wootton headed in and the striker tapped home a third goal with 15 minutes left after Boldewijn's effort was saved.
