WYCOMBE WANDERERS produced a stunning display to annihilate League One Chesterfield 5-0 in the FA Cup second round, with Scott Kashket bagging a memorable hat-trick.

Those three goals from Kashket, plus others from Paul Hayes and Anthony Stewart, gave the League Two side an incredible victory at a freezing Proact Stadium.

It could in reality have been more as Chesterfield goalkeeper Ryan Fulton made a string of superb saves to keep the score down, who weren’t helped by Jon Nolan’s sending off for an awful challenge on Dominic Gape with the score at 2-0

Hayes opened the scoring on 20 minutes when he headed home brilliantly from Kashket’s dazzling play on the right-hand side.

Just four minutes later, Gareth Ainsworth’s men doubled their lead when Gape played a sublime chip back into the area after Luke O’Nien’s volley had been cleared.

Gape’s ingenuity cause havoc amongst the Spireites defence and Kashket swept home for his first of the afternoon.

His second goal on 70 minutes came courtesy of some brilliant hold up play by an inspired Adebayo Akinfenwa who chested down to O’Nien. He played the ball through to the in-form Kashket and he slotted coolly past Fulton.

Wycombe’s fourth goal came just two minutes later when Anthony Stewart steered the ball into the Chesterfield net with the Spireites backline and sizes and sevens.

Kashket capped off a magnificent day on 77 minutes when he beat Darren Liddle in an aerial duel and he clinically finished beyond the blameless Fulton.

It was a completely dominant performance by Wanderers, who belied their league position and ran relegation-threatened Chesterfield ragged.

The away side had numerous other chances in the game and gave an early warning of their quality when O’Nien’s superb 25-yard effort was brilliantly tipped away by Fulton, following quality build-up play by Hayes and the unplayable Akinfenwa.

Man-mountain Akinfenwa caused pandemonium for Chesterfield throughout as they could barely get close to him.

Spireites manager Danny Wilson made a tactical change on 33 minutes, with Ched Evans replacing Reece Mitchell to try and add some bite to their toothless attack but in truth Evans barely got a sniff against a defence, supremely marshalled by Anthony Stewart.

The away side started the second half on the front foot and Hayes almost made it three on 48 minutes after some more excellent build up play involving Matt Bloomfield.

Some more brilliant and incisive passing from the Chairboys led to a free kick and Jacobson stepped up on 55 minutes to curl inches wide of Fulton’s right hand post.

Chesterfield created a good chance for Evans on the hour mark as he turned inside Michael Harriman but Blackman saved well low down at his near post.

On 63 minutes, the home side’s day was made even worse when Nolan was shown a straight red for a rash and aggressive challenge on Gape and was rightly given his marching orders by referee Michael Salisbury.

The resultant free kick found Akinfenwa on the edge of the box and he expertly laid it off to Hayes who shot wide.

Following the third goal, Wycombe laid siege to Chesterfield and Kashket was denied his hat-trick earlier as Fulton made a brace of top saves from him and skipper Hayes.

Now, a mouth-watering tie potentially awaits for Ainsworth’s charges in the third round when the big boys enter the competition.

Judging by this performance, Wycombe could well make things very tough for superior opposition than Chesterfield.
