Hackford's Last-Gasp Winner Secures Wimbledon Survival at Wigan

· Match Report

Substitute Antwoine Hackford's last-gasp winner secured League One survival for AFC Wimbledon following a 1-0 victory at Wigan Athletic. The decisive moment arrived with seconds remaining, settling a contest that had offered little goalmouth excitement until its dramatic conclusion.

The home side dominated for the majority of the first period but were unable to land a blow on the visitors. It was Wimbledon, instead, who fashioned the clearest opportunity before the break, only to be denied by an alert piece of goalkeeping.
