Colchester United kept Chesterfield mired in the Second Division relegation battle with a 2-1 victory at Saltergate.

The visitors took the lead when Greg Halford put The U's in front just after the half-hour mark, as Phil Parkinson's men had the 1-0 lead at the break.

The Spireites drew level five minutes after the break through Glynn Hurst but Colchester would take all three points with eight minutes left, as Wayne Andrews (pictured) scored the winner.

The result leaves Chesterfield just two points above the drop zone while victory for Colchester keeps them mid-table in Division Two.
