Rochdale down 10-man Tamworth with late rally

Rochdale netted three second-half goals as they moved into the National League play-off places with a comfortable 3-0 win over 10-man Tamworth.

After both sides went into the half-time break goalless, Tamworth were reduced to 10 men when Jordan Cullinane-Liburd was sent off for an off-the-ball incident which forced the away side to play the final half an hour with a man less.

Rochdale piled on the pressure and opened the scoring in the 74th minute through Harvey Gilmour, who was ready and waiting at the back post to tap home from a corner.

The hosts doubled their lead 10 minutes from time after anothet corner came out to Kyron Gordon and he hit a volley which snuck past Jas Singh.

Rochdale sealed the points in the 87th minute through Devante Rodney, who was able to finish from close range and wrap up a convincing victory.
