James Tilley’s stoppage-time thunderbolt rescued a point for AFC Wimbledon as they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Accrington at home. Accrington had looked set for the three points as second-half goals from Nelson Khumbeni and Dara Costelloe saw them leading heading into the final two minutes of regulation time. But Alistair Smith gave the hosts a lifeline in the 89th minute before Tilley struck deep into added time with a 25-yard drive to earn his side a draw.
Wimbledon came closest to breaking the deadlock during a goalless first half when Matty Stevens saw his shot from the edge of the six-yard box go over the crossbar. Stevens fired wide from five yards out following a superb cutback from Josh Neufville as Johnnie Jackson's side got closer and closer after the break. Trending Then, against the run of play, Khumbeni stroked the ball into the top right-corner of the net from outside the box to give Stanley the lead in sensational style.
Costelloe could have made it 2-0 after being put through on goal, but his shot was well saved by Owen Goodman.

However, there would be a late twist in the tale as Wimbledo.
