Rochdale 2-0 Crewe

Rochdale 2-0 Crewe

Rochdale extended their lead at the top of League Two to six points by beating Crewe in an entertaining encounter.

Chris O'Grady put Dale ahead, pouncing on a loose ball after Chris Dagnall had a shot parried and volleying home.

Dagnall had a shot cleared off the line by Harry Worley, while Crewe keeper Steve Phillips made further fine saves from Dagnall and O'Grady.

Steve Schumacher and Luke Murphy had chances for Crewe but Mark Tootle's own goal wrapped up victory for Dale.
