A strong reserve Chesterfield side were defeated by Notts County in an eight-goal thriller at the Proact Stadium.

Three headed first-half goals, two from Mani Dieseruvwe and the other from Byron Harrison, put Chesterfield 3-1 ahead after Colby Bishop had given the visitors a tenth minute lead. But an eleven-minute spell turned the game on it’s head and made it 4-3 before Wes Atkinson’s wonderful strike wrapped up the victory for the Magpies in this Final Third Development League Cup group stage fixture.

Jamie Vardy scored in an eighth consecutive Premier League game to give Leicester City victory over West Bromwich Albion in a five-goal thriller on my first ever visit to the Hawthorns.

The hosts had taken a first-half lead through Salomon Rondon’s header but a Riyad Mahrez brace and Vardy’s 11th of season gave the visitors a deserved 3-1 lead. Substitute Rickie Lambert converted a late penalty to set up an exciting finish, but the Baggies couldn’t find an equaliser and it was Leicester who took home the points to move up to third in the table.
