Adam Armstrong had been lively along with Ryan Kent who got his first start for City and Jacob Murphy and four minutes into the second half, the majority of the 11,003 crowd were on their feet when City were in front thanks to a lovely Adam Armstrong finish.
The Sky Blues had chances to add to their tally against a Chesterfield side which had Mani Dieseruvwe sent off for a handball after he had already been booked in the 88th minute, but had to settle for the 1-0 win.
