Chasetown suffered their third consecutive defeat in the league despite Leek goalkeeper Ben Chapman making some match winning saves.

Leek opened the scoring in the 17th minute. Neat build up play involving Danny Smith and Tim Grice was finished off by James Curley.

Ben Chapman made a superb near post save to deny a Josh Ruff header and then dashed out to palm aside a Sam Belcher shot.

Just short of the hour the visitors doubled their lead. Sam Grimshaw slid a pass through to Jordan Johnson who fired past Curtis Pond.

Substitute Pierce Kiembi forced Chapman into a save within seconds of his introduction with a header from 8 yards.

Chasetown had a golden opportunity to reduce the deficit after Mike Williams was pushed to the floor by a Leek defender. James Dance skied the spot kick above Chapman’s crossbar.

Tim Grice punished Chasetown with an immediate goal to increase the visitors lead with a chipped effort.

Chapman made another great save to deny another Kiembi header after initially punching Jack Langston's free kick away.
