Thompson scores winner for leaders as Cansdell-Sherriff sent-off

Shrwesbury were second best for long periods as runaway League Two leaders Rochdale came away with a well-deserved 1-0 win. Dale's Tom Kennedy hit the post and crossbar in a first-half during which Shrewsbury were totally outplayed. On loan Spurs keeper David Button did well to tip a fierce shot from Gary Jones round the post and then dived bravely at the feet of first Chris O'Grady and then Chris Dagnall. The inevitable goal eventually came after 62 minutes when substitute Joe Thompson headed home with his first touch. The home side's day then got worse when Shane Cansdell-Sherriff, back from a two-game suspension, was shown a red card with 15 minutes remaining for bringing down Dagnall.
