MATHER'S FIRST SENIOR GOAL
Congratulations to Sam Mather, who netted his first senior goal on Saturday, earning Rochdale a point at home to Oxford City with his 77th-minute strike.

Sam was far from the only Academy graduate excelling this week. All across European football, fans will have noted the performances of those who developed their game at Carrington.
In our first-team game against Everton, nine graduates were included in the United squad and a further four in that of the visitors (Dwight McNeil, James Garner, Jack Harrison and Michael Keane).
