Posted Sunday, August 23, 2015 by PA
Chesterfield and Rochdale played out an entertaining goalless draw in Sky Bet League One at the Proact Stadium, as the goalkeepers came out on top.
Dale keeper Josh Lillis produced a stunning stop to deny Sylvan Ebanks-Blake late in the second half, before Tommy Lee twice saved from Donal McDermott who came close with a free kick in the closing minutes.
The visitors had the first chance in the 22nd minute when McDermott's low cross was met by Joseph Bunney but his shot was deflected behind for a corner.
Ian Evatt headed a Chesterfield corner over at the back post in the 32nd minute but it needed a brilliant reaction save from Lillis to deny Ebanks-Blake in the 44th minute before McDermott broke clear, though he could not beat Lee.
Lillis saved from Lee Novak in the 52nd minute but Lee rescued Chesterfield three minutes later when he dived at the feet of McDermott after a mistake by Sam Hird.
McDermott went close with a free kick in the 88th minute, but was again denied by Lee to keep the scores level in an even game.
