Paul Cook's men led at the break thanks to George McEachran's first goal for the club.

Favour Fawunmi opened his Oldham account to equalise five minutes into the second half, but within two minutes of the scores being level, Chesterfield restored their lead through Dilan Markanday's close range finish.

Latics had comfortably beaten Port Vale and Swindon in their previous home games, but they were on the back foot in the 18th minute after Louie Marsh's shot hit the hand of Gus Scott-Morriss and the referee pointed to the spot.

Mat Hudson denied Lee Bonis from 12 yards but Bonis reacted quickly to turn in the rebound to make it 1-0.

Fawunmi got on the end of Jamie Robson's left wing cross and equalised with a free header in the 50th minute.

But the Spireites were back in front inside two minutes with Markanday securing a first win in four games from close range.
