AFC Wimbledon applaud their travelling support following the win over Notts County
Two goals in the final 10 minutes boosted AFC Wimbledon's play-off hopes as they moved up to eighth in League Two by winning at Notts County.
Substitute Connell Rawlinson's own goal put the visitors ahead with on-loan Kofi Balmer's header doubling the Magpies' woes, leaving them winless at home in 2024.
Dons almost found themselves in front within the first minute when the ball landed at the feet of Omar Bugiel inside the area but he fired his shot over the crossbar.
Macaulay Langstaff squandered the best chance of the half for the hosts, placing his effort well over after a neat one-two inside the Dons box.
The Magpies' top scorer almost made amends early in the second half but was unable to turn home Aaron Nemane's delivery on the line.
Johnnie Jackson's side took the lead in the closing stages when Balmer's throw-in was turned beyond his own goalkeeper by Rawlinson.
They sealed the points five minutes later, with Ronan Curtis' delivery from a corner headed powerfully beyond Sam Slocombe by Balmer for the Northern Ireland international's first goal for Wimbledon since he joined on loan from Crystal Palace.
