AFC Wimbledon 2 - 3 Stevenage

AFC Wimbledon were left stunned by a Stevenage comeback which condemned them to their second successive home defeat.

The Dons took an early lead through Matt Tubbs but were pegged back by goals from Wells, Lancaster and Lee, despite dominating large parts of the game.

The home side almost broke the deadlock when Ade Akinfenwa stole in at the back post to head a Callum Kennedy cross against the upright, and then Tubbs hit his shot wide after another Akinfenwa chance was deflected into his path.

They eventually took a deserved lead shortly after the half-hour mark when Kevin Sainte-Luce, brought into the team when George Francomb was injured in the warm up, charged into the Stevenage box and pulled the ball back for Tubbs to tap-in.

The visitors had barely troubled James Shea in the home goal until he was forced to into a fingertip save from a Stevenage free-kick and could do nothing to stop Dean Wells from nodding in the rebound from close in to level the scores just before the break.

Stevenage never looked back from that point and, despite never controlling the game, grabbed two goals from nowhere to leave Neal Ardley’s men scratching their heads as to how they let the game slip away.

First Cameron Lancaster curled an audacious shot from way outside the box over the head of Shea who had wandered off his line, and then Adam Marriott found himself free to head-home from point-blank range from a Jerome Okimo cross.

Adebayo Azeez headed home in injury time to make the visitors sweat, but it was too little, too late to rescue a point.

AFC : Shea, Fuller, Kennedy, Moore, Barrett, Bennett, Rigg, Bulman, Akinfenwa, Tubbs, Sainte-Luce. Substitutes: McDonnell, Phillips, Nicholson, Pell, Harrison, Azeez, Beere.
