Adebayo Akinfenwa had not scored for Wimbledon since 28 November

Adebayo Akinfenwa struck his first goal in over four months to earn a late victory for AFC Wimbledon at League Two promotion rivals Plymouth.

Wimbledon led from a lightning break on 30 minutes when Tom Elliott and Jake Reeves set up Lyle Taylor to score.

Graham Carey belted home a brilliant 61st-minute angled volley from left-back Gary Sawyer's cross to level.

But Akinfenwa beat Curtis Nelson to a high ball on the edge of the box to somehow loop home the winning header.

Plymouth drop a place to fifth, three points off an automatic promotion place.

Wimbledon climb into the last of the play-off places in seventh, nine points behind Argyle.

AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley told BBC Radio London:

"I put that down as probably the toughest game we've had. They played a diamond, that was tough to play against, they haven't played that recently.

"The first half was really tough so to come in 1-0 up was a really gritty performance.

"Obviously when they scored the onus was on them to go and win it and the momentum was with them.

"Ade has come on and no-one else would probably have the strength to hold the man off and power a header from that distance."
