Connor McBride nets winner as Rochdale bounce back with victory over Halifax

Rochdale returned to winning ways in the National League with a 2-1 victory over Halifax.

Fourth-placed Dale, who lost to Southend on Saturday, stormed into a 1-0 lead through Kyron Gordon in the 40th minute.

Halifax kept pushing and a neat pass from substitute Tom Pugh allowed Billy Waters to punish the hosts after 76 minutes.

But Rochdale found a winner as Connor McBride got on the end of a Tarryn Allarakhia assist nine minutes from time.
