Match Commentary  
Stockport came from behind to defeat local rivals Rochdale at Wembley and secure promotion to League One.

Rory McArdle headed Rochdale in front at the near post but Nathan Stanton diverted a cross into his own net with his hand for Stockport's equaliser.

Anthony Pilkington's superb header went in off the crossbar to put the Hatters ahead early in the second half.

Liam Dickinson scored the third with a near-post strike before Adam Rundle's awesome volley ensured a tight finish.
