Chesterfield secured their first three points of the season by beating in-form Woking 4-0.
Tom Denton gave the Spireites an early lead, but it was young striker Luke Rawson who stole the show by coming off the bench to score his first two goals for the club.
John Pemberton made two changes following Tuesday night’s defeat to Hartlepool. New signing Alex Kiwomya came in to replace the suspended Scott Boden, whilst Jamie Sharman replaced Josef Yarney.
The Spireites took an early lead just three and a half minutes in when Jordan Cropper launched a long throw into the box. Denton got a touch on it at the near post to put his side into the lead.
However the visitors responded well by putting the Spireites under a lot of pressure.
Woking were presented with a golden chance in 14th minute. John Goddard found himself one-on-one with Kyle Letheren who managed to get a touch on the shot and push it out for a corner.
In the 40th minute Letheren kept his side in the lead once again when he made a fantastic diving save to push Charlie Cooper’s free kick out for yet another Woking corner.
The Spireites’ ‘keeper was called into action again just a few minutes later when he denied Kane Ferdinand from close-range to keep the home side in front by a goal to nil.
In the early stages of the second half Jonathon Smith tried his luck from 30 yards, when he came racing onto the ball, but the midfielder couldn’t direct his effort on target.
John Pemberton made his first change in the 64th minute when new signing Tyler Denton replaced Milan Butterfield to make his debut for the club.
Four minutes later he brought young striker Rawson on to replace Denton.
Alan Dowson’s side looked like finding an equaliser 8 minutes from time when a free-kick was swung into the back post. Letheren punched it away but only as far as Napa who drilled the ball low and hard into the area. Chesterfield could breathe a sigh of relief as they finally managed to clear.
However three minutes later substitute Rawson doubled his side’s lead.
Fellow substitute Liam Mandeville whipped in a free-kick which bounced around before it found Rawson who smashed it into the back of the net to score his first goal for the club.
In the 87th minute Kiwomya made it three on his second debut for the club. Cropper bagged his second assist of the game when he provided a low ball into the box for Kiwomya to convert from close range.
In the final dangers of the game Rawson got his second. The 19-year-old curled the ball into the net to seal a first victory of the season for Chesterfield.
Spireites: Letheren, Cropper, Sharman, Evans, Maguire (Mandeville 81’), Buchanan, Smith, Weston, Butterfield (Tyler Denton 64’), Kiwomya, Tom Denton (Rowson 68’)
