I hope that you were inspired like West at the table and switched to spadeK - because it's the only defence that works. Declarer can duck, but you can get off lead with a club and South must lose a heart, a trump and two clubs. If declarer wins spadeAQ and exits with another he still loses the same tricks.

A club at trick two is not so good in theory, because declarer can win clubAQ and exit with a small spade - leading to plus one.
