Notts County’s Oliver Norburn was sent off after throwing an opponent’s boot away during his team’s defeat by League Two promotion rivals Chesterfield.<\/p>\n
County put up a huge fight after his 19th-minute dismissal, twice battling back from behind to level, but Liam Mandeville’s second-half winner settled the contest.<\/p>\n
Armando Dobra quickly made himself the villain at Meadow Lane.<\/p>\n
He was accused by the home crowd of feigning injury during a tangle with Norburn, before then cupping his ears in front of fans after starting and finishing the 16th-minute move which ended with him firing Dilan Markanday’s cross past keeper James Belshaw.<\/p>\n
And the Albanian was involved again three minutes later, when he lost his boot in a challenge with Norburn who, 10 minutes after picking up his first booking, flung the item off the field and was shown a second yellow card.<\/p>\n
County responded well and in the 36th minute, Sil Swinkels turned the ball into his own net while attempting to clear Jodi Jones’ cross.<\/p>\n
Tom Naylor restored Chesterfield’s lead in the 44th minute with a header from Tom Pearce’s cross, but Matty Platt bundled home from close range to make it 2-2.<\/p>\n
However, County had no response when Mandeville nodded in Sammy Braybrooke’s 66th-minute delivery.<\/p>\n
