Fleetwood Town 2-3 AFC Wimbledon in FA Cup third round

League One strugglers AFC Wimbledon made the FA Cup fourth round for the first time as Kwesi Appiah's last-minute goal saw off Fleetwood.

Wimbledon went in front thanks to Andy Barcham's clever turn and shot, while Anthony Hartigan scored from the edge the box to double their lead.

Paddy Madden bundled in for the hosts and Ched Evans levelled from the spot after he was fouled by Tennai Watson.

But Appiah scored a dramatic winner when he finished with a fine low shot.

The Dons are bottom of League One but have now won three away games in the competition to reach the fourth round for the first time in their 16-year history.

Fleetwood manager Joey Barton was serving the first match of his two-game touchline ban.

Barton admitted using "abusive and/or insulting" language as well as questioning an official's integrity following the 2-1 defeat by Bristol Rovers in December.

AFC Wimbledon boss Wally Downes: "The boys are bubbling about it.

"You cannot beat a 90th-minute winner, even though it took us to stand off the last four minutes and not concede again when the FA Cup would normally dictate that it would happen.

"I could easily have seen it being 3-3. It was a terrific performance, a great result."

Fleetwood Town boss Joey Barton: "I am absolutely devastated because I love the FA Cup. It is massive for clubs like us. But credit to Wimbledon - they hung in there, defended the box when they had to and hit us on the counter attack.

"Hopefully they will get a big tie in the next round and make a few quid because it is the lifeblood of clubs like us and Wimbledon. It can make or break the season.

"I am gutted because I would have liked that little bit of money to invest in the side but I'm really pleased with the character of the lads."
