AFC Wimbledon were on the receiving end of a footballing mugging last night - and their wounds were entirely self-inflicted.

The record books will show it was Jamie Cureton, who scored a hat-trick against the Dons the last time the sides met back in April, that delivered the fateful blow which ended their five-match unbeaten league run.

However, the truth is it was an own goal in all but name and a nightmare moment keeper Ben Wilson will want to forget.

The Cardiff loanee had barely touched the ball such was the lack of ambition shown by the bus-parking Daggers, when with 10 minutes left, Cureton, only on pitch because of a first-minute injury to leading scorer Matt McClure, floated in an innocuous cross from the right.

Wilson caught the ball before losing his grip and almost throwing it over the line. Cureton has been a great goal poacher in his time, but he has surely never scored a luckier one.

That Wilson's clanger proved so costly is comment on the inability of Neal Ardley's side to turn their dominance into goals against a side propping up the rest before this win.

Lyle Taylor brought a fine save from Daggers' keeper Mark Cousins and Adebayo Akinfenwa's header brushed the top of the net as the hosts opened brightly.

Late in the half Cousins tipped over Callum Kennedy's free-kick before reacting brilliantly to keep out Karleigh Osborne's effort from the resulting corner.

They were less effective after the break, though Cousins denied both Kennedy and substitute Sean Rigg from close range - the latter his best save of the night.

As frustrations grew Taylor escaped punishment after appearing to punch Clevid Dikamona, before Wilson's horror moment compounded Dons' misery.

On this evidence it may be a while before celebrity fan Boris Becker puts in another appearance.
