Rochdale have thrashed Crawley Town 4-0 in their League One clash this afternoon thanks to goals from Matt Done, Calvin Andrew and a brace from Peter Vincenti.

Rochdale keeper Conrad Logan then produced a smart save to deny Crawley's Matt Harrold, who had connected sweetly with Ryan Dickson's cross from the left.
From the resulting corner, Harrold headed across goal to present a great chance for Sonny Bradley, but he could only hit the ball over the bar.
The dangerous Harrold then had another header denied by Logan as Crawley looked to get back into the game.
They did little to help themselves, however, and they were caught napping by Bastien Hery from a Rochdale throw as he sent an effort past the upright from the edge of the area.
After the restart, Crawley keeper Brian Jensen did well to deny Ian Henderson at his near post, with the striker putting the rebound over the goal.
A ten-minute spell then saw Vincenti take the game out of Crawley's reach with two well-taken goals.
Firstly, the midfielder calmly finished past Jensen from 12 yards before heading home a dinked cross from close range.
Andrew added a fourth for Rochdale to seal an impressive win for the visitors.
