Jak McCourt scored twice for Chesterfield as they beat 10-man Forest Green 3-2 in Sky Bet League Two.
Kristian Dennis added the hosts' third in the 81st minute after a goal in each half from McCourt, but Christian Doidge made the home side sweat after he added an injury time header to his 60th-minute goal.
Rovers were reduced to 10 men in the 49th minute when Emmanuel Monthe was shown a straight red card.
McCourt forced Brad Collins into one of many decent saves ahead of his 22nd minute goal and the keeper's legs also denied Dennis, whilst McCourt fired wide from range. Rovers managed just a single shot in the opening half, Reece Brown forcing a save.
At the break, Forest Green made changes but Monthe was dismissed for a lunge on Joe Rowley and McCourt made the one-man advantage pay when he scored his second goal five minutes later.
Kellett fired wide after Brown had deflected a cross onto his own bar but Rovers broke away for Doidge to tap in his 10th of the season from a Dale Bennett cross.
The visitors did not manage another effort before Dennis became the first Chesterfield man since 1989 to score in six straight League games, before Doidge's late effort made for a tense finish.
