Saturday 23 October 2021 18:27, UK
Rochdale's Aaron Morley scored in the 94th minute to finally sink 10-man Sutton 3-2.
Dale broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute when Liam Kelly sent a stunning crossfield pass into the run of Alex Newby, who did not have to break stride as he calmly sent a first-time side-footed volley wide of keeper Dean Bouzanis.
Sutton's Richie Bennett saw a header comfortably saved on 44 minutes and within seconds was dismissed by referee Paul Howard for a stamp on Dale striker Jake Beesley.
The home side's second arrived in the 66th minute, Kelly collecting Corey O'Keeffe's nod down and slotting home a neat finish.
It was game on when Sutton pulled one back on 82 minutes, Omar Bugiel's header well saved by Joel Coleman only for Isaac Olaofe to fire home the rebound.
