Bristol Rovers 1 Rochdale 2

Matty Lund sent Dale to the top of the table - and edged Rovers closer to the trap door.

Midfielder Lund tapped in his ninth goal of the season from one yard after left back Michael Rose's low cross somehow made its way to the far post through a crowded box.

Delighted Rochdale chief Keith Hill said:

"After the last two games when we've lost both 3-0, you think you're out of the title race, but we're not."

Substitute Joe Bunney had levelled in the 46th minute after racing on to a pass from striker George Donnelly to rifle in from a tight angle.

Midfielder Kaid Mohamed gave relegation threatened Rovers false hope when his toe-poked opener hit the post from ten yards before trickling across the line despite Rochdale protests.

Disappointed Rovers manager Darrell Clarke said:

"They're all crunch games now. We've got to keep going, keep fighting."
