Lee Bonis goal gives Chesterfield victory at Shrewsbury

Lee Bonis goal gives Chesterfield victory at Shrewsbury

Chesterfield moved into the League Two play-off places following a battling 1-0 win at Shrewsbury.

Lee Bonis hit the winner just after the hour with his sixth goal of the season to give the Spireites a second successive victory.

The visitors rode their luck at times with former Spireite Sam Clucas and Tommy McDermott going close in either half.

Clucas saw a shot well saved and another go narrowly over as the hosts enjoyed the better of the opening 30 minutes.

Bonis failed to find the target after Dylan Duffy picked him out just before half-time.

McDermott drilled a glorious chance inches wide after Tom Anderson flicked the ball into his path in the 54th minute.

Bonis then failed to find the target with a first-time effort from Ronan Darcy’s cross.

But the frontman made no mistake when he turned his man and found the bottom corner in the 61st minute.

James Berry missed a glorious chance to seal the win when he somehow shot wide from close range with two minutes to go, but it did not prove to be costly.
