Lee Thorpe scored two goals as he helped Rochdale come from a goal down to beat Notts County.

The home side took the lead through a Jamie Forrester penalty after Myles Weston had fouled Joe Thompson.

Thorpe then latched on to a William Buckley pass, rounded keeper Russell Hoult and slotted in for the winner.
