Mani Dieseruvwe scored a first-half brace to move top of the Enterprise National League scoring charts as early pacesetters Rochdale claimed a 3-0 victory over Yeovil.

Dieseruvwe scored the opener after just five minutes as he slotted Kyron Gordon’s cross home from close range.

The 30-year-old summer signing added his 11th goal of the season on the half-hour mark following a Dale break on the halfway line, while Ryan East was on target with the hosts’ third just before half-time.

Josh Sims had a shot blocked before Luke McCormick sent the resulting corner over the crossbar as the Glovers aimed to reduce the deficit in the second half but Rochdale kept their clean sheet intact.
