Matty Blinkhorn scored as Morecambe dented Chesterfield's League Two play-off hopes in a 1-1 draw at Christie Park on Saturday.Blinkhorn was the Shrimps' goal hero with a neatly-taken strike 17 minutes from time but it was goalkeeper Scott Davies who was the star for Sammy McIlroy's side after pulling off a string of fine saves.

Chesterfield dominated the game in the first half and led through Steve Fletcher's superb 35th-minute strike.

The visitors had a number of chances to extend their lead with striker Jamie Ward denied on two occasions by superb saves by Davies.
