Callum Maycock brace helps Wimbledon to victory over MK Dons

14 September 2024

Callum Maycock’s brace helped AFC Wimbledon record their third league win in a row with a 3-0 triumph over bitter rivals MK Dons.

The first chance at Cherry Red Records Stadium fell to Omar Bugiel, but his effort was straight down the throat of Tom McGill.

The MK Dons stopper was called into action again in the sixth minute, and this time he did well to push Myles Hippolyte’s shot behind for a corner.

McGill’s afternoon took a sudden turn for the worse in the 10th minute when he collected a back pass, handing the hosts an indirect free-kick inside the penalty area.

Hippolyte capitalised, blasting the ball into the back of the net from the resulting set-piece to give the hosts the lead.

Joe Tomlinson hit the frame of the goal with a sublime looping header after half-time as the visitors pushed for an equaliser.

However, Maycock sparked jubilant scenes in the 89th minute, firing Joe Pigott’s low cross into the top right corner.

The substitute made it 3-0 in stoppage time with another sharp finish to seal the victory.
