Rochdale go top after hammering Gateshead

Mani Dieseruvwe scored his third goal of the new National League season as Rochdale climbed to the top of the table after a 4-0 drubbing of Gateshead.

Skipper Ethan Ebanks-Landell headed Dale into a 13th-minute lead after Dieseruvwe had turned a Joe Pritchard delivery back across goal.

It was 2-0 two minutes before the restart when Dieseruvwe struck, providing the finishing touch after Devante Rodney had escaped his marker and picked him out.
