Alexander then saved from Jordan Evans and Mitch Botfield with O’Callaghan then hitting the crossbar with the rebound.

It was fully deserved when the hosts took the lead. Botfield curled an effort from well outside the box that dipped beyond Alexander and in-off the underside of the crossbar.

Evans then forced another save as Alexander kicked away at full stretch.

Chasetown had a couple of half chances to seal the victory but the league leaders hit back on 85 when a long throw fell to Michael Jacklin who steered the ball home
