Chris O'Grady scored twice as Rochdale thrashed league leaders Bournemouth to close the gap at the top to two points.
The home side went behind when O'Grady found Chris Dagnall on the stroke of half-time, then O'Grady converted from Dagnall just after the hour mark.
Simon Whaley ran unchallenged to score before O'Grady completed the romp two minutes later with a well-taken fourth.
However, Rochdale's Nathan Stanton was sent off after a flare up with Marvin Bartley eight minutes from time.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe told BBC Radio Solent:
"I thought we were well in it before the break and then we had a really good spell just after halftime. Unfortunately we conceded the second goal and after that we got punished a couple of further times.
"We need to use this as a watershed game; move on from it, but learn from it and use it as a motivation.
"We're still in a great position, so it's not all doom and gloom. The lads are very disappointed which is a good sign, it shows they care."
