AFC Wimbledon were held to a 2-2 draw with Doncaster Rovers as they celebrated an emotional Plough Lane homecoming after 29 years away.
The visitors immediately threatened to spoil the historic return as early as the 9th minute as Ben Whiteman curled the ball just wide.
However, it was Wimbledon’s Joe Pigott who was the history maker as he opened the scoring in the 18th minute only for the jubilations to be quelled six minutes later with Matt Smith’s equaliser.
Doncaster looked the stronger side after the interval and Whiteman’s right footed shot from outside the box went just over the bar in the 56th minute.
Donny came close again in the 70th minute when Whiteman was left unmarked in the box – only to head the ball straight into the hands of Wimbledon keeper Connal Trueman.
At the other end Pigott was denied by Josef Bursik before the Dons’ striker scored what looked like an 81st minute winner with a low strike from the edge of the box.
But Doncaster proved the ultimate party pooper as James Coppinger’s deflected shot found the back of the net in injury time.
