Cobblers loan round-up: Bunney’s blushes spared by team-mates in vital Dale win
Dale led through veteran striker Aaron Wilbraham early on but just two minutes later Bunney’s misdirected pass across his own penalty box gave Jordan Hallam a simple finish to equalise.
The Town defender’s blushes were spared in the second-half, however, as Kgosi Ntlhe restored the home team’s lead before Wilbraham scored his second to secure three points, lifting Dale to within a point of safety in League One.
