Rochdale return to winning ways
Striker Chris O'Grady made amends for his sitter in the League Two loss at Bury last time out with a terrific goal just eight minutes into the game.[LNB]Frontline partner Chris Dagnall had a shot parried by Steve Phillips and O'Grady pounced on the loose ball, volleying it into the roof of the net from 10 yards.[LNB]Dagnall had a shot cleared off the line by Harry Worley, while Phillips produced good saves to deny O'Grady and Dagnall before the half was out.[LNB]Crewe had their chances in an entertaining first 45 minutes, Steve Schumacher testing Frank Fielding with a long-range free-kick and Luke Murphy firing over after good approach play from John Brayford and Schumacher.[LNB]Dario Gradi's men also had a penalty claim turned down when Scott Wiseman challenged Byron Moore. An own goal by Matt Tootle seconds after the interval effectively wrapped up the result, while Phillips denied the hosts a third by saving Kallum Higginbotham's long-range effort and a diving header from Craig Dawson.[LNB][LNB]
