Jay O'Shea has scored six goals for Chesterfield this season

Chesterfield held on to earn a narrow victory at Rochdale in League One, despite Gboly Ariyibi's late dismissal.

Jay O'Shea's placed shot put the visitors ahead, but Ian Henderson levelled with a diving header.

Lee Novak restored the Spireites' lead from Dan Gardner's pass and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake then fired in the third.

Rhys Bennett nodded in to give Dale hope after Ariyibi was sent off for a second act of simulation, but the hosts were unable to find an equaliser.

Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester:

"As much as I was disappointed with the performance in the first half, the scoreline was retrievable.

"In the second half I thought we started superbly well, we got the equaliser and then we just made silly mistakes in quick succession which led to a 3-1 deficit and it was just too much of a mountain to climb.

"But I still believe in the players, I still believe in what we're trying to do and it was an entertaining game."
