Two second-half goals from substitute Lee McEvilly earned Rochdale three points against Shrewsbury.

The visitors took the lead in the 59th minute when Grant Holt's spectacular volley few past keeper Sam Russell.

But McEvilly brought the home side level eight minutes later, side-footing a free-kick under the wall from the edge of the area.

And the striker sealed the win when Ben Davies' goal-line clearance rebounded off him and into the net.
