Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Notts County and Chesterfield.

Two stunning goals from substitute Jorge Grant earned Notts County their first win of the season as they secured a 2-0 victory over 10-man Chesterfield.

After a forgettable opening 25 minutes, the game burst into life on the back of an off-the-ball incident involving Gozie Ugwu and Elliott Hewitt, for which the former earned a yellow card.

County immediately went on the attack, with Sam Hird denying Shola Ameobi with a fine tackle before he hacked Terry Hawkridge's effort off the line.

But the visitors then suffered a setback just before the break when Scott Wiseman saw red for a needless shove on Hawkridge.

The challenge facing County was to overcome Chesterfield's stubbornness and they did just that when loanee Grant looped a fantastic header over Anyon in the 60th minute.

The 22-year-old saved his best for last in injury time when Hird was penalised for a foul on Jonathan Forte 25 yards from goal.

Grant took responsibility with the set-piece and bent it over the wall and into the far corner to give Anyon no chance.
