Jack Cook’s header snatches Wealdstone victory against Rochdale

Jack Cook’s stoppage-time heroics snatched victory for Wealdstone as they beat Rochdale 3-2.

Kairo Mitchell put Dale ahead in the ninth minute, getting on the end of a through ball and slotting it past Jed Ward to score his eighth goal of the season.

But Wealdstone levelled three minutes into first-half stoppage time when Tarryn Allarakhia’s cross was turned in by Cook.

Rochdale went ahead in the 52nd minute when Ryan East fired home from close range, but their lead was short-lived as Sean Adarkwa equalised just four minutes later.

The game looked destined for a draw, but Cook grabbed a winner five minutes into stoppage time with a header from Kyle Smith’s free-kick.
