Coventry City suffered their third League One loss in a week as Rochdale's late penalty dealt another blow to the Sky Blues' automatic promotion hopes.
Chris Stokes brought down Ian Henderson inside the area in the 89th minute. And the Dale striker kept his cool to score and earn his side their third win in four matches.
Visiting keeper Josh Lillis had kept his side in it with fine saves from Joe Cole, teenager James Maddison and then at the death from Adam Armstrong.
Tony Mowbray's City drop out of the play-off zone to seventh, three points behind Barnsley - and now 16 points adrift of leaders Burton Albion.
