Burton Albion 1-0 Chesterfield

Calum Butcher scored his fourth goal of the season to extend Burton's League One lead at the top

Calum Butcher scored the only goal of the game as League One leaders Burton Albion move seven points clear at the top with victory over Chesterfield.

Butcher finished calmly from inside the box at the end of a first half delayed by an injury to Spireites defender Liam O'Neil at the Pirelli Stadium.

The home side had the best of the chances, with forward Stuart Beavon denied by goalkeeper Tommy Lee.

Defeat leaves Chesterfield just a point above Fleetwood and the bottom four.
