Chesterfield came from 3-0 down to grab a point against Ebbsfleet in the English National League on Saturday.

Still, nine minutes into injury time, Ebbsfleet looked like they were about to win the game.

Ebbsfleet had built a 3-0 lead by the break and were cruising well into the second half until the home side got one back through Tom Denton.

Former Celtic and West Brom forward Marc Antoine-Fortune - now 37 - got another back for Chesterfield in the 83rd minute.

In the fifth minute of injury time, Will Evans popped up for what would be his first moment of heroics when he headed in the equaliser.

Following that goal, there were some ugly scenes as Chesterfield fans rushed onto the pitch in celebration. Ebbsfleet goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore was attacked by a fan as he lay on the ground.
