AFC Wimbledon 2 : 1 Accrington Stanley - Dons receive first Ade
Posted Sunday, January 25, 2015 by PA
AFC Wimbledon picked up their first win of 2015 as substitute Ade Azeez's second-half strike settled a 2-1 victory over Accrington.
The Dons went close to taking the lead after just eight minutes as Dannie Bulman's fierce drive struck a post.
Accrington had their first chance on 20 minutes when Kal Naismith drifted in from the left and unleashed a rasping shot just over.
The deadlock was eventually broken after 38 minutes thanks to Sean Rigg, who buried a volley into an unguarded net after Matt Macey had parried Craig Tanner's effort.
And Tanner almost doubled the lead two minutes later, forcing Macey into a good stop low down.
The hosts continued to look the more likely after half-time but George Francomb fluffed his lines in front of goal before Adebayo Akinfenwa had a volley blocked.
Accrington went inches away from an equaliser soon after as James Shea brilliantly tipped over Anthony Barry's long-range effort.
However the lively Azeez sealed the three points after lifting the ball over an onrushing Macey, before Adam Buxton struck a consolation after a goalmouth scramble.
