First-half goals from Charlie McCann and Andi Weimann secured a 2-1 home win for Cheltenham over Chesterfield.

Louie Marsh pulled one back in the second half, but the Robins' impressive start to the season continues.

McCann opened the scoring with his seventh goal of the season in the 17th minute. Jordan Shipley's ball forward was played into his path by Ryan Broom and he beat Ryan Boot with a shot into the bottom right corner.

Lee Bonis hit the woodwork for Chesterfield and Joel Randall's shot was deflected on to the roof of the net before Cheltenham doubled their lead.

McCann found Jonathan Tomkinson, who nodded the ball down for Weimann and he thumped a shot into the net for his fourth goal in four games.

Stanway saved brilliantly from Bonis before half-time, but he could do nothing about Marsh's 49th-minute strike after Randall's effort was blocked following Remeao Hutton's pass.

Liam Mandeville shot just wide for Chesterfield in the 84th minute as the visitors pressed for a leveller, but Cheltenham held firm.
