Duffy Double Inspires Spireites To Spectacular Trophy Turnaround | Mansfield Town (A) Analysis
11.11.26, 19:08 5 Minute Read
A capacity away crowd watched Chesterfield claim a highly memorable victory as they rallied from behind to beat bitter rivals Mansfield Town 5-3 in Tuesday’s Jersey Mike’s Trophy group game.
The Spireites fell two goals down early on as Jon Russell bagged a brace, the first of which came from the penalty spot, and would then trail 3-1 when Regan Hendry’s second-half strike restored the gap which had been halved by Joel Randall just before the break.
However, staring at the very real possibility of a painful derby defeat, Paul Cook’s side produced a stunning final half hour to swing the outcome of the contest through Dylan Duffy (x2), Tom Naylor and a Liam Mandeville spot kick.
