Hartlepool United 2-1 Rochdale - player ratings with five 7's as Pools seal dramatic win in Graeme Lee's first League Two game in charge

Pools were forced to come from behind in the second half after Josh Andrews had given Dale the lead by finishing a fine move from the visitors.

But Mark Cullen grabbed an equaliser for Lee’s side with a brilliantly taken goal from Mark Shelton’s long diagonal, taking it down and sliding beyond Jay Lynch.

And it was Pools who would get the winner in stoppage time at the end of the second half.

Joe Grey threaded a ball into the path of Luke Molyneux who twisted and turned in the area before getting a shot off which deflected into the path of midfielder Mark Shelton, who had continued his run, and he had the simple task of placing the ball into an almost empty net.

An here is how the Pools players were rated on a special night for Lee.
