Match report

Cheltenham saw off Chesterfield 2-1 in League Two on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run to five matches. The hosts had looked comfortable at 2-0 before Louie Marsh pulled one back for the visitors. It was a result that keeps Cheltenham in second place while Chesterfield remain mid-table.

Charlie McCann opened the scoring in the 17th minute, and Andreas Weimann doubled the lead just before half-time. The second half started with Chesterfield pressing forward, and Marsh's 49th-minute strike changed the complexion of the game. By then Cheltenham had already shown they could control their own destiny.

There were plenty of changes from both sides in the closing stages. Cheltenham brought on Jake Evans in the 59th minute, then made four substitutions around the 78th minute mark. Andreas Weimann was substituted in the 86th minute after picking up a yellow card earlier. Chesterfield also reshuffled their attack, bringing on both Ryan Broom and Jordan Shipley for Cheltenham in the final minutes.

And here's the thing about the statistics. Chesterfield dominated possession at 66 per cent and registered 11 shots on target, yet only found the net once. Cheltenham managed just 34 per cent possession but made 10 saves to keep a clean sheet until the 49th minute. The shots tell their own story — three on target for the hosts against eleven for the visitors.

Cheltenham move closer to automatic promotion places with this win. They sit on 15 points from eight games, four victories and three draws. Chesterfield, meanwhile, remain in 11th place on 11 points. The gap between them is now four points, and there is no value left at that number when you're chasing the top six.
