Jeff King fired Chesterfield into the lead in the ninth minute, finding the top corner from 30 yards out.

Southend were awarded a penalty in the 51st minute when Will Atkinson was brought down in the box and Sam Dalby scored from the spot to level.

Joe Quigley had a chance with a headed effort, but Steve Arnold made a good save to deny Chesterfield.

Calvin Miller then put the Spireites in front 78 minutes in, heading home a cross from the right.

The visitors equalised in the 88th minute when Callum Powell whipped a cross into the box and Kerr put the ball into his own net.
