Iron too strong for Spireites

Last season's Johnstone's Paint Trophy finalists Chesterfield bowed out in the first round this time in a 2-0 defeat at Scunthorpe.The home side took control with first-half goals from Sean McAllister and former Spireite Gary McSheffrey.McAllister netted in the 15th minute with a left-foot shot on the turn from inside the box after McSheffrey had threaded the ball through.Ten minutes later McSheffrey made it 2-0 after a mis-kick by substitute goalkeeper Aaron Chapman left him with an open goal.Chapman then made amends with a full stretch save from a Paddy Madden shot to prevent his side falling further behind.Twice more before the interval Madden had a chance to make it 3-0 but the striker could not find his finishing touch.For an hour Chesterfield offered little threat in front of goal until midfielder Ollie Banks tried his luck from long range with a shot that brought the best out of home keeper Bobby Olejnik.The visitors finished the game with 10 men when centre-back Jack Broadhead was sent off in the 84th minute for a second yellow card offence as Scunthorpe eased comfortably into round two.
