Dilan Markanday scored one goal and teed up one of substitute Josh Koroma’s late double as Chesterfield earned a deserved victory in a dominant display against a below-par Tranmere Rovers.<\/p>\n
The Spireites only had Markanday’s brilliant individual strike to show after a one-sided first half in which Rovers managed just one touch in the opposition box and one off-target attempt on goal.<\/p>\n
Chesterfield created and wasted numerous chances and their profligacy looked like it could cost them when a powerful Dylan Jones header levelled the scores just before the hour.<\/p>\n
But with seven minutes remaining the hosts sped away to a fourth League Two victory of the season.<\/p>\n
Markanday set up Louie Marsh who rammed home the Chesterfield home goal via a deflection and Koroma’s low strike and toe-poked finish sealed the points, before Jacob Slater’s late shot doubled Tranmere’s tally.<\/p>\n
The scoreline just about did justice to a game in which Chesterfield’s ongoing inability to take their chances seemed as though it would once again leave boss Paul Cook frustrated.<\/p>\n
Marsh went close shortly before the outstanding Markanday cut inside from the right and curled a lovely shot into the far corner for the opener. <\/p>\n
Joel Randall then scuffed an effort wide, Markanday had a decent strike saved and Marsh smashed an effort off the bar.<\/p>\n
However, Rovers improved dramatically on the resumption and Tom Ince’s teasing cross was well met by Jones to make it 1-1 during their best spell of the game.<\/p>\n
But having regained their composure, Chesterfield, who have moved into the play-off places, seized control again.<\/p>\n
Lee Bonis somehow headed wide from close range before Marsh struck to make it 2-1 and Koroma’s classy late double eased any nerves, prior to Slater completing the scoring for a Rovers side who slipped to their second league loss of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dilan Markanday scored one goal and teed up one of substitute Josh Koroma’s late double as Chesterfield earned…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":790839,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[59,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-790838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-gb","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=790838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/790839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=790838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=790838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=790838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
