Crawley Town 0 : 4 Rochdale - Good job Done by Dale



Posted Sunday, September 07, 2014 by PA

Peter Vincenti's second-half brace sent Rochdale cruising to their second league win of the season in a comfortable 4-0 victory at Crawley.

Matty Done's first-half strike put Dale ahead before Vincenti and substitute Calvin Andrew sealed back-to-back league and cup away wins for Keith Hill's men.

Crawley have now lost four consecutive Sky Bet League One matches, but Matt Harrold, making his first league start, should have put the home side ahead in the eighth minute with a header from six yards following Jimmy Smith's corner.

Dale broke the deadlock two minutes later when Done took advantage of slack Crawley defending and produced a tremendous left-footed strike from the edge of the box that curled past goalkeeper Brian Jensen.

Putting the ball in the net has been a problem for the Reds in the league so far this season - they have now scored just three goals in their opening six league matches.

Crawley responded well to going behind however, and Rochdale goalkeeper Conrad Logan, on loan from Leicester, produced a fingertip save to keep out Harrold's powerful header shortly before the break.

But Vincenti's 54th-minute strike put the away side two goals ahead and the 28-year-old sealed victory with a header 12 minutes later.

Dale substitute Andrew added a fourth in the 75th minute following neat build-up play by the outstanding Done.
