Sam Mather’s equaliser for Rochdale earned a 2-2 draw and denied rock-bottom Oxford City a rare win.
Dale had taken the lead in the 11th minute when Kairo Mitchell sprung the offside trap and slotted home.
But two goals in seven first-half minutes put City on course for a first win in eight games.
Harvey Greenslade levelled when he flicked home from a set-piece in the 28th minute and then Josh Parker converted from Harry Birtwhistle’s cross.
But Dale earned a point when Manchester United loanee Mather finished from 10 yards in the 77th minute.
Atletico boss Simeone confident Alvarez will adapt
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said Julian Alvarez needs time to find his feet after a 3-0 win over Girona, predicting the forward will be "incredible" for Los Colchoneros.
Atleti got off the mark for the new campaign with a comfortable win over last season's LaLiga runners-up, with Antoine Griezmann, Marcos Llorente and Koke scoring.
Alvarez was quiet on his first start following his €95million (£81.5m) switch from Manchester City, but Simeone is certain he will come good.
"Top players demand things to happen, people go to the stadium to watch them. We know what Julian brings and what he can give us," Simeone said.
"We will try to exploit his best qualities, as a first striker or second striker, or on the wing...
"He is still missing connections but that will come with training and matches, he has only just arrived but we have to give him time."
The Argentine coach then heaped praise on Llorente, who also added an assist for Koke's goal from right-back.
Simeone added his fine form will boost competition with fellow right-back Nahuel Molina, saying: "I am very happy to see that after one or two years looking for an important place for a player with his characteristics, we have found a spot for him.
"This calls for Molina to improve, to show the World Cup and Copa America winner he is.
"We need competition. Because Llorente will not always be able to play at the same pace and we have another great player like Molina who will do the same as Marcos in that position."
Paris Saint-Germain 6-0 Montpellier: Parisians continue impressive start without Mbappe
Bradley Barcola's first brace of his career helped Paris Saint-Germain maintain their winning start to the season as they thrashed Montpellier 6-0 on Friday.
Barcola opened the scoring in the fourth minute of the contest, with Marco Asensio doubling their advantage before the break.
The 21-year-old continued the scoring eight minutes after the break, as Achraf Hakimi, Warren Zaire-Emery and Lee Kang-in completed a dominant display.
It took four minutes for the first goal of the encounter as Barcola produced a fine finish, with Asensio adding their second after being picked out by Joao Neves.
Despite momentarily halting the onslaught, Barcola increased PSG's advantage shortly after the break with a simple finish from Ousmane Demebele's pass.
Hakimi netted the hosts' fourth with another fine finish, as Zaire-Emery got himself in on the act to strike beyond Benjamin Lecomte after a brilliant piece of skill.
Substitute Kang-in sealed the scoring eight minutes from time, sneaking a left-footed effort from the edge of the area in at Lecomte's near post.
Data Debrief: Barcola stars for Parisians
PSG have now scored 10 goals in their last two league games, as life without Kylian Mbappe has got off to a flying start under Luis Enrique.
Barcola showcased his undeniable talent during the contest, contributing 1.17 expected goals (xG) to PSG's 3.93 total - the highest of any player for the hosts.
The winger has eight goal involvements (five goals, three assists) in his last seven top-flight appearances for PSG, two more than in his first 20 for the club.
