DAVID CONNOLLY's first goal for Wimbledon in almost 13 years clinched an exhilarating 3-2 win over promotion hopefuls Luton Town at Kingsmeadow to continue a late-season revival and sustain hopes of a play-offs push with 15 games left.

IT's some turnaround when Wimbledon can return to the scene of a hideous flogging and come away with a stoic point and in the process defy in-form leaders Burton Albion playing with 10 men for a great chunk of the game.

IF you want evidence as to how much Wimbledon's season has evolved, go back six months to the opening game against Shrewsbury Town: six first-choice players from that match, around half the team, started in Saturday's 2-0 win over Newport County at Kingsmeadow.

TWO significant things happened in Wimbledon's season at Kingsmeadow on Saturday. The Dons .. finally .. got one over Accrington Stanley, but more importantly, a debut was savoured that could have far-reaching ramifications for the future of the Club.
