Chesterfield roared to an incredible 6-1 victory over high-flying Exeter at St James Park.
Exeter's seven match unbeaten run comes to spectacular end
Exeter City's fine seven match unbeaten run was brought to a shuddering halt as Chesterfield roared to an incredible 6-1 victory at St James Park.
The visitors took the lead in the 38th minute in some style when Jamie Winter let fly from 25 yards and his shot screamed into the top corner.
It was soon 2-0 as some poor Exeter defending allowed Alan Goodall a sight at goal and his shot took a big deflection before nestling in the net.
The Grecians pulled a goal back shortly after the re-start when Adam Stansfield finished well from Marcus Stewart's driven cross, but that was as good as it got for the men from Devon, who then shot themselves in the foot with some kamikaze defending from there on in.
Jack Lester made it 3-1 when goalkeeper Paul Jones spilled a soft Jamie Ward shot into his path and he tapped into an empty net.
He then got his second of the night when he robbed Jones of the ball and again rolled it into an empty net.
Ward grabbed the fifth and it was again down to poor defending as Steve Tully and Dan Seaborne contrived to lose possession and the former Aston Villa trainee ran through to slot past Jones.
And Exeter's misery was complete when Gill criminally passed the ball straight to Darren Currie, who rolled the ball past Jones to cap a memorable night for the Spireites.
