Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two game between Chesterfield and Accrington.

Chesterfield parted company with manager Gary Caldwell after a late strike from Mallik Wilks gave Accrington a 2-1 victory in their Sky Bet League Two game at the Proact Stadium.

Billy Kee fired Accrington ahead after Bradley Barry was sent off and although Kristian Dennis equalised from the spot, Wilks won it eight minutes from time.

Accrington should have scored in the third minute when Sean McConville was unmarked six yards out but Joe Anyon made an excellent save.

Anyon pushed Kee's header onto the bar in the 33rd minute and a poor first half ended with the Chesterfield goalkeeper turning over a 20-yard McConville drive.

Chesterfield forced Aaron Chapman into action when he blocked a Dennis shot in the 52nd minute but the home side were reduced to 10 men when Barry was red-carded in the 63rd minute for a two footed tackle on Seamus Conneely.

Accrington took advantage five minutes later when Kee fired past Anyon at the back post only for Dennis to level from the spot in the 77th minute after Conneely pulled him down.
