Shots and Spireites share spoils
Robinson: Netted equaliser
Jack Lester's 22nd goal of the season was not enough for Chesterfield as Jake Robinson struck to earn Aldershot a 1-1 draw at home.
Former Grimsby star Lester pounced for his fifth goal in three games before the break but Robinson led a spirited Aldershot fightback to share the points and put a dent in Chesterfield's play-off hopes.
Lester struck first when he latched onto Peter Till's through ball and calmly lifted the ball over the onrushing Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz.
The Shots almost hit back a minute later through Reading loanee Scott Davies's chip before Till wasted a golden chance to make it two after good work from Lester.
Drew Talbot and Derek Niven went close as the Spireites dominated but the home side sprung into the life in the 40th minute when Robinson had a shot cleared off the line by Danny Hall.
Aldershot roared out of the blocks after the break and drew level when skipper Anthony Charles headed a Davies corner goalwards and Robinson stabbed home from close range. The impressive Niven saw a 66th minute volley strike the foot of Jaimez-Ruiz's post as the visitors pressed for the winner but they had to settle for a share of the spoils.
