Late Bailey Goal Lifts Doncaster Over Wimbledon in League One
LONDON (Interstat) — Substitute Owen Bailey scored deep in stoppage time to give Doncaster a 1-0 victory over AFC Wimbledon in a League One match Saturday at The Cherry Red Records Stadium.
The match, which defied pregame projections favoring the hosts, appeared destined for a draw until the final moments. Bailey found the net in the ninth minute of added time, converting after a chaotic sequence that included multiple yellow cards and a red card shown to Wimbledon defender Joe Lewis just a minute before the goal.
The result marked a reversal from the teams’ September meeting, which Wimbledon won. Doncaster improved its League One record with the road win, while Wimbledon’s struggles continued at home.
