ROCHDALE could count themselves distinctly unlucky to come away from Field Mill with nothing to show as for long periods they frustrated the free scoring hosts.

With Dale seemingly in control Mansfield scored an undeserved winner courtesy of the divisions leading scorer Colin Larkin on 86 minutes.

Worse was to follow for the visitors as almost immediately after they went behind they were denied a blatant penalty when midfielder Tom Curtis clearly handled Paul Tait's header under his own crossbar.
