Chesterfield continued their early-season goal spree by brushing aside Vanarama National League opponents AFC Fylde 4-2 at Mill Farm.

A week after hitting four against Dorking, the Spireites had a second successive win wrapped up by half-time.

Tyrone Williams set them on their way with a sixth-minute effort, then Liam Mandeville, who scored twice in the victory over Dorking, made it 2-0 before Will Grigg added a third before the interval.

It was damage limitation for Fylde in the second period, but any small hope of sparking a fightback were extinguished when Ryan Colclough netted Chesterfield’s fourth after 49 minutes.

To their credit, Fylde did not fold and late goals from Jonathan Ustabasi and Harry Davis gave the scoreline a degree of respectability, although Davis was sent off in the sixth minute of added time for a second bookable offence.
