Mandeville Settles Promotion Six-Pointer As Norburn Sees Red For Throwing Boot

· Match Report

Chesterfield edged a 3-2 win at Meadow Lane against League Two promotion rivals Notts County, with Liam Mandeville's second-half header settling a fiery contest in which Notts had Oliver Norburn sent off inside the first 20 minutes.

County, reduced to 10 men in the 19th minute, twice clawed their way back to parity before Mandeville nodded in Sammy Braybrooke's 66th-minute delivery to give the visitors a lead they would not relinquish.

Dobra Lights The Fuse

Armando Dobra cast himself as the villain at Meadow Lane. After being accused by the home crowd of feigning injury in a tangle with Norburn, the Albanian started and finished the 16th-minute move that opened the scoring, firing Dilan Markanday's cross past James Belshaw before cupping his ears towards the Kop.
