Cleveland Taylor breaks into the Chester area....

....and is put under pressure by Sean Hessey.....

....and he goes down in the area, however the officials saw no offence.

.... and lifts the ball over substitute 'keeper MacKenzie only to see it go just wide of the far post....

....and Torps shows his dissapointment.
