Accrington lost a two-goal lead and had boss John Coleman sent from the dug out as play-off chasing Chesterfield triumphed with a 4-2 home win.Andrew Procter celebrated his return from injury by scoring twice in eight minutes as Stanley punished defensive errors at Saltergate.

The midfielder got his 10th of the season after a header came back off the crossbar and then fired in from the penalty spot in the 30th minute when goalkeeper Barry Roche barged over Shaun Whalley.

But Derek Niven got Chesterfield back in it a minute later with a low shot through a crowded box and the visitors fell apart in the second half.

Mark Roberts put through his own goal in the 57th minute and 60 seconds later Jamie Lowry sidefooted in after a shot was blocked.

Coleman was dismissed 10 minutes from time for shouting at a linesman and his team were finished five minutes later when Jamie Ward scored a breakaway goal.
