Dowie hails hard-working Spireites

Charlton manager Iain Dowie paid tribute to Chesterfield after his side scraped into the Carling Cup quarter-finals courtesy of a 4-3 penalty shoot-out victory.

Roy McFarland’s League One side, who dumped out Wolves, Manchester City and West Ham in the three previous rounds, pushed Dowie’s me all the way in an absorbing encounter which finished 3-3 after extra-time.
