Rostov derails Lokomotiv with late winner

Lokomotiv Moscow 1-2 Rostov
Sunday 3 October, RZD Arena 

Goals: Lokomotiv - Maradishvili 9'; Rostov - Kerk (OG) 31', Poloz 89'
Man of the Match: Dmitry Poloz (Rostov) 

Dmitry Poloz sent Lokomotiv to their first defeat of the season with a cool finish late on, to complete Rostov's comeback. 

Konstantin Maradishvili had leapt majestically to nod home his first goal for Lokomotiv early on from a swimming Gyrano Kerk cross.

The Dutchman was on the scoresheet after half an hour, but at the wrong and as he turned in a scrappy passage of play into his own net. 

In the closing stages, Poloz was on hand to slam home a much-needed winner for struggling Rostov. 

Lokomotiv stay fourth on 17 points, while Rostov go 13th on nine points.
