Barry Fuller's first AFC Wimbledon goal was enough to secure victory for the Dons over Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday.
Fuller was in the right place at the right time after 18 minutes to slam home from close range to earn Neal Ardley's side the 1-0 win.
The reigning Dons player of the year has waited 70 games to make the net bulge and as well as sealing all three points it ended a six-game run without a victory for AFC Wimbledon.
He said: “I told the players there's 15 games a season where you'll play ok and it's how many points can you pick up in those. It's not a bad habit to get into: playing ok and winning.
"Yes we can play better, it was a bit scrappy but we've played ok and we've won 1-0. Too often we've played well, like at Bristol in midweek, and not got anything. That's not such a good habit to get into.”
