The 29-year-old winger found the back of the net in the first half, helping his team secure an important three points after an encouraging attacking performance.
His latest contribution is another positive development for the South African international, who will be hoping to maintain his form and strengthen his position in the Bafana Bafana setup.
Meanwhile, Chauke also had reason to celebrate in England after registering an assist for Burton Albion during their emphatic 4-0 victory over AFC Rushden & Diamonds.
The midfielder provided the assist for Charlie Webster's goal, contributing to Burton's dominant performance in the FA Cup encounter.
His contribution demonstrated his ability to influence matches and create opportunities for his teammates.
