Sheffield United produced a strong second-half display to earn an easy Carling Cup passage past Chesterfield. The Blades took a 14th-minute lead when Jon Stead followed up Danny Webber's rasping shot to place an angled low drive into the bottom corner.
Former Blades striker Jack Lester bravely headed home Peter Leven's cross to draw Chesterfield level.
Stead's low shot put the Blades back in front just before the break and Webber slotted in a third on 56 minutes.
