Chesterfield recovered from a two-goal deficit at half time to rescue a replay in their FA Cup third-round tie with Scunthorpe United this evening.
The hosts created an early chance through Gary McSheffrey's curling ball into the box, which Neal Bishop met with a glancing header that Tommy Lee needed to save.
McSheffrey was the creator again shortly afterwards, threading the ball to Paddy Madden, who fired an effort a yard past the post.
Chesterfield's first opening came in the 16th minute when Armand Gnanduillet squeezed a shot away from six yards, but Scunthorpe's defence just about did enough to turn it behind for a corner.
The Iron made them pay for that missed opportunity as Alex Davey opened his senior account with a classy finish into the top corner from the edge of the box just two minutes later.
It was the visitors who began to put the pressure on towards the end of the half, but Romuald Boco was denied twice in quick succession seven minutes before the break.
Gnanduillet then missed a glorious chance to level things right on the stroke of half time, and he was punished as Lyle Taylor went straight down the other end to score following a defensive error.
The Spireites came out firing in the second half and should have pulled a goal back when Gnanduillet nodded towards goal from close range, but Sam Slocombe made a point-blank save before collecting at the second attempt.
Slocombe was called into action again shortly before the hour mark, pulling off a fine stop to tip a Sam Clucas effort over when it looked destined for the top corner.
The visitors' pressure finally told with 20 minutes remaining when Gary Roberts was brought down in the box, and Eoin Morgan made no mistake to drag his side right back into the match.
The goal only served to ramp up the pressure on the hosts and, after a few scares, they finally buckled as Jay O'Shea converted a Roberts cross from close range to level things up.
Both sides pushed for a winner in the closing stages, with Slocombe and Lee needing to make late saves, but ultimately it remained level to set up a replay.
The winners of that match face a away trip against Derby County in the fourth round.
