Robbie Simpson scored a 21-minute hat-trick as Oldham crushed Chesterfield.

A fine run by Paul Black set-up Simpson for his first from 10 yards and the striker, on-loan from Huddersfield, netted his second from a free-kick.
Craig Westcarr's header closed the gap, Simpson completed his treble from close range and then set-up Shefki Kuqi, while Leon Clarke netted a consolation.
VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Oldham Athletic manager Paul Dickov told 91热爆 Radio Manchester:
Dickov delighted by Simpson hat-trick
"I thought for the majority of the game some of the football we played was as good as we've played since I've been at the club.
"Robbie (Simpson) is a top footballer, a clever footballer and technically he is one of the best at the club.
"I thought all over the pitch today we were excellent."
Chesterfield manager John Sheridan told 91热爆 Radio Sheffield:
We were embarrassing - Sheridan
"Very poor, I'll be embarrassed to watch that again. Embarrassed for the supporters that have come to support us.
"I've got to question the players that are going out on the pitch. I've got to question me, if I'm picking the right team.
"We're conceding very, very soft goals and too many soft goals."
