Here's how we rated the players at Spotland.
5. Zak Jules - 7
A great outing in his second appearance. Thought he'd scored, via Jerome, in the first half but made up for it with a header, courtesy of Jerome, in the second to start Dons rolling.
6. Ethan Laird - 7.5
Probably his best outing in a Dons shirt. Lively, eager, won his battles, a part of several key moves too, including the opener for Matt O'Riley.
7. Andrew Surman - 7.5
Excellent on the ball, stopped Rochdale from doing anything before they could actually get it going, especially in the second half.
8. Top Don: Matt O'Riley - 8.5
Started perfectly with a goal after five minutes, and got better from there. Great on the ball, worked hard at both ends of the pitch, seldom lost possession. A brilliant display.
