Hartlepool came from behind to win at Chesterfield and maintain their 100 percent start to the season.
A poor first half brought few noteworthy opportunities.
Nicky Featherstone saw a 20-yard shot deflect wide for Hartlepool, while David Buchanan’s long-range effort at the other end was comfortably gathered by goalkeeper Ben Killip.
The Spireites took the lead early in the second half as Tom Denton scored from the penalty spot after Hartlepool substitute Ryan Johnson was adjudged to have handled.
Pools responded well and levelled in the 64th minute when David Ferguson’s low cross was turned past his own goalkeeper by Will Evans.
They grabbed a quickfire second when another Ferguson cross was turned in at the near post by debutant defender Johnson.
Chesterfield were reduced to 10 men with 12 minutes remaining when Scott Boden was sent off for a late lunge on keeper Killip after play had stopped for an offside call, and Hartlepool held on comfortably.
