Late Sam Stubbs header sees Shrewsbury steal points at Chesterfield

Late Sam Stubbs header sees Shrewsbury steal points at Chesterfield

Chesterfield’s play-off hopes suffered a blow after they lost 3-2 at home to Shrewsbury following Sam Stubbs’ stoppage-time winner.

Tom Naylor had put Chesterfield ahead just after the half-hour mark but Shrewsbury hit back with two goals from Trey Ogunsuyi in either half.

Tom Pearce then equalised late on for Chesterfield, only for the Shrews to have the final say through Stubbs.

Naylor scored from just outside the six-yard box in the 31st minute after receiving the ball from Dilan Markanday’s low cross.

However, Ogunsuyi levelled in time added on at the end of the first half after getting his head to a free-kick played into the area by Tom Sang.

Ogunsuyi scored again in the 70th minute following an error from Zach Hemming, the keeper failing to clear following a Sil Swinkels back-pass, allowing the striker to nip in and score from close range.

Pearce then looked to have secured a point for the Spireites in the 85th minute after floating a free-kick over the defensive wall and into the roof of the net.

However, Shrewsbury hit back to win it, with Stubbs’ header finding the net in the third minute of stoppage time.
