Stockport 2-1 AFC Wimbledon

Stockport returned to winning ways in League One after coming from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over AFC Wimbledon.

Goals from Jack Diamond and Ethan Ennis ensured the Hatters avoided a third game without a win after Jayden Stockley had put the visitors ahead shortly after half-time.

County remain two points behind leaders Huddersfield in second spot, while the Dons have dropped one place to 18th having now gone seven league matches without a win.

Stockport's Kyle Wootton had the best chance of a first half low on clear-cut opportunities, the striker shooting just wide after a long ball forward bounced through to him over the head of defender Ryan Johnson.

Wootton also came close to opening the scoring just beyond the half-hour mark, but he missed the target with his header from Ethan Pye's cross.

Wimbledon took the lead less than two minutes into a much livelier second half through Stockley, who headed home from Harry Cornick's delivery.

County struck back, though, shortly after the hour-mark as Diamond combined with substitute Mikael Mandron before firing a shot past Josef Bursik from the edge of the area.

The hosts were now firmly in the ascendancy and they went in front in the 74th minute through Ennis, who tapped in his first goal for the club after Steve Seddon had intercepted Diamond's cross in front of Bursik.

Substitute Callum Maycock came closest to equalising for the away side, but he was denied by Ollie Whatmuff as County saw the game out.
