Late drama at Plough Lane as St Johnston man secures victory for AFC Wimbledon against rivals MK Dons

Ronan Curtis secured a dramatic late victory for AFC Wimbledon, clinching a 1-0 win against MK Dons at Plough Lane and dealing a blow to their rivals' hopes of automatic promotion.

Early in the game, referee Charles Breakspear cautioned Michael Kelly, sparking controversy among Wimbledon supporters who believed Kelly should have received a straight red card for a challenge on Omar Bugiel near the penalty area.

Despite the early tension, James Tilley's powerful shot was deflected for a corner, creating a scramble in the MK Dons' defence that they eventually cleared.

After half-time, a frantic moment in the box threatened to break the deadlock, but John-Joe O'Toole's crucial block kept the scores level.

Both teams pushed for a goal, with Dan Kemp testing Alex Bass in the MK Dons' goal, while opportunities arose at both ends in the dying minutes.

A near miss from Jack Currie, whose header hit the woodwork, and a squandered chance by Stephen Wearne set the stage for Curtis' decisive moment, as he calmly slotted the ball past Kelly in the dying seconds of the match.
