Lincoln City   1 - 3   Rochdale

Lincoln City 1-3 Rochdale

Lincoln City 1-3 Rochdale

League Two leaders Rochdale came from behind to record a fifth successive win and deny Lincoln a first league win since mid-October.

Lincoln went ahead when Eric Lichaj's enterprising run set up Chris Herd.

But Rochdale hit back to lead 2-1 at half-time, Chris O'Grady rifling in Scott Wiseman's cross before Craig Dawson headed in Tom Kennedy's corner.

Chris Dagnall later converted Joe Thompson's far-post cross to stretch Rochdale's lead to four points.
