Adebayo Akinfenwa scored 15 goals for AFC Wimbledon last season

Goals from Adebayo Akinfenwa and Andy Barcham gave AFC Wimbledon their first win of the season at the expense of Crawley Town.

The hosts took the lead when Gwion Edwards headed home Luke Rooney's cross at the back post.

Akinfenwa headed in a Barcham cross after the break to level the scores.

Barcham, who earlier forced a fine save from Freddie Woodman, won it with another header after George Francomb's shot was blocked.

AFC Wimbledeon boss Neal Ardley told BBC London 94.9:

"I wanted to see whether we could recreate the Plymouth game in the first half.

"I needed to find out whether they could recreate that because that's how I imagined it and we didn't, we clearly didn't.

"Straight away I had a brave decision to make. It was a simple one to change it around and unfortunately Tom (Elliott) was the one that made way, it could have been anyone at that point.

"There is no point having a player like Bayo Akinfenwa and not playing to his strengths when the time is right."

Crawley Town boss Mark Yates told BBC Sussex:

"I thought we dominated the first half and were excellent and they dominated us second half and a couple of mistakes and a couple of bad goals we conceded.

"We are obviously not pleased, we're frustrated and we wanted to make this place a fortress starting today. We have a chance to make it right on Tuesday night.

"I'm just disappointed for the players and the staff and the supporters."
