York City gave their National League survival hopes a major boost with a third successive victory as they beating newly crowned champions Chesterfield.
Dipo Akinyemi had a goal ruled out for offside before Chesterfield, who beat Boreham Wood last week to wrap up the title, took a seventh-minute lead through Joe Quigley on his 100th appearance for the Spireites.
The Minstermen were back on level terms eight minutes into the second half.
Akinyemi slid a ball through to Maz Kouhyar, who took a touch before rifling home.
The hosts then hit a 71st-minute winner when Akinyemi picked his moment to arrow a left-footed strike through Ryan Boot at his near post.
That lifts York five points clear of the drop zone with four games left.
