Rhodes took the lead against the run of play as Ben Fisher found player manager George Alexander to fire into the top corner.
Sporting levelled with a Jordan Phillips header and hit the post and crossbar, before Phillips struck again.
Phillips turned provider for Sporting’s third goal as his cross found Charlie Luxton to head home and make it 3-1 at half time.
