CHESTERFIELD boss Paul Cook was left disappointed with a point after a stoppage-time penalty award led to Notts County snatching a draw.
And it was a match for the old-timers as three veteran strikers found the net.
David McGoldrick, 36, followed up to score for Notts right at the death after his spotkick was saved by Max Thompson after a controversial handball decision.
The hosts had led thanks to goals from Paddy Madden, 34, and Will Grigg, 33, with Alassana Jatta levelling for Notts in between.
Cook said: "I thought it was only disappointing because of the manner of the equaliser, the lateness in the game. I felt we'd done more than enough to take the points.
"I felt we had all the big chances in the game. I've got to say Notts County will always have periods of possession.
They're very much a possession-based side.
"They've got so many good players. They've done really well. They'll be in the shake-up at the end of the year.
