Hartlepool United player ratings from huge 5-1 win at Chesterfield as Dave Challinor picks up first National League victory in style

Dave Challinor picked up his first league victory as Hartlepool United manager with an emphatic 5-1 victory at Chesterfield on Tuesday night.

First half goals from Gus Mafuta and Luke James put Pools in a commanding position approaching half time at the Proact Stadium before Peter Kioso’s own goal gave the hosts hope going into the second half.

But that hope was short lived as a Gime Toure brace and another from Mafuta saw the away side claim their biggest win of the season so far.
