Ritchie Humphreys has put table-topping Chesterfield on course for a vital win as they lead second-placed Oxford United 1-0 in League Two.

The 35-year-old had perfect cause for celebrating having witness the birth of his second child only 24 hours ago.

Humphreys showed no weariness as he latched onto Eoin Doyle's cross on 30 minutes and guides his effort across United keeper Ryan Clarke to put the Spireites in front.

The U's have had enough possessios and efforts at goal to suggest they can respond and may have done so had Deane Smalley taken one of his opportunities in the first 45 minutes.
