Chesterfield secured a valuable away victory at Accrington Stanley through W. Dickson's second-half strike in the 63rd minute.

Dickson's goal proved to be the difference-maker, arriving just after the hour mark to break the deadlock and give the visitors three crucial points. Both managers made numerous substitutions in the final stages as Accrington desperately sought an equalizer, but Chesterfield held firm to claim a clean sheet and maintain their strong league position.
