AFC Wimbledon 1-2 Stevenage
- Published
Jerome Okimo scored a free-kick from his own half as Stevenage came from behind to beat AFC Wimbledon.
The Dons opened the scoring just before the break when Dannie Bulman's cross found George Francomb at the back post, and he headed past Chris Day.
Jamile Matt latched onto Tom Pett's ball to equalise with a curling effort, having missed an earlier chance.
And Okimo capped Stevenage's comeback as his free-kick bounced through the hands of goalkeeper Ben Wilson.
AFC Wimbledon coach Simon Bassey told BBC Radio London:
"I'm standing here because the gaffer really feels let down and we won't be accepting those performances at this football club.
"It was a tough game, the conditions played a big part, but they certainly played the conditions better than us.
"We weren't physical enough, we didn't run hard enough, that's certainly not something this club is renowned for."
Stevenage boss Teddy Sheringham told BBC Three Counties Radio:
"It's a little unfortunate on their behalf on how we got the second goal but we felt it was coming from the possession we had and pressure we put on them.
"It was a very tough day to play football for both teams, one of the ugliest games I've seen in a long time. It was a day for hanging in there, battling, putting pressure on and keep on going.
"It's funny how different you look at things after a couple results. We'll keep our feet on the ground. We've got another big game again next week and we're looking forward to it already."
