Chesterfield moved up to second in League Two with victory over bitter rivals Mansfield in a pulsating game. Gregor Robertson's corner went straight in at the near post to put the visitors ahead but Stephen Dawson shot the Stags level with a fabulous 20-yard volley.
The Spireites hit the bar through Steve Fletcher before Jamie Lowry made it 2-1 when he rammed home from close range.
Mansfield then had Jake Buxton sent off for two cautions before Jack Lester raced clear to seal Chesterfield's win.
