Will Grigg grabbed the winner as Chesterfield hit back from 2-0 down to beat Solihull Moors 3-2 and regain their seven-point lead at the top of the National League.

Visitors Solihull looked set to repeat their shock Boxing Day success as goals from Matty Warburton and Mark Beck either side of half-time put them in a commanding lead.

But the Spireites responded with three goals in six second-half minutes, starting with a cool finish from Tom Naylor in the 63rd minute to reduce the deficit.

Ryan Colclough levelled when he headed home a corner three minutes later, and Grigg poked home from long range on 69 minutes to complete the turnaround and seal the points for the hosts.
