Marcus Forss inspires AFC Wimbledon to victory
Posted Sunday, December 15, 2019 by PA
Marcus Forss was the hero for AFC Wimbledon, scoring one and making the other as they came from behind to beat Doncaster 2-1 at Kingsmeadow.
The visitors started the game on the front foot and after Rakish Bingham’s shot was shovelled behind by Dons goalkeeper Nathan Trott, Kwame Thomas was on hand to head home Reece James’ inviting delivery after 12 minutes.
Darren Moore’s men probably felt they should have led more comfortably at the break, and Forss made them pay after 56 minutes when he slammed home a penalty to take his League One goals tally this season into double figures after Donervon Daniels mistimed his sliding tackle on the Finnish youth international.
Both sides were going for all three points, and Forss was again the inspiration with 20 minutes left as he chased down a long ball over the top of the Doncaster backline before feeding the onrushing Callum Reilly, who slotted past Seny Dieng for his first league strike since joining the club in the summer.
There was still time for Jon Taylor to cushion a shot wide after James’ cutback, but the hosts held on.
