Adam McGurk's fourth and five goals of the season have put Burton Albion on course to record back-to-back away wins for the second time in 2013.
The Brewers are 2-0 up at League Two leaders Chesterfield at the midway point of this afternoon's clash in Derbyshire.
McGurk broke the deadlock on 10 minutes, finishing well in a one-on-one situation after being sent through on goal by Lee Bell's probing pass.
The lead was doubled four minutes later when McGurk headed home from Chris Hussey's pinpoint cross.
