In-form Hartlepool stormed to their fourth straight win in League Two with a dominant victory over AFC Wimbledon.
Simon Walton's penalty, awarded after Alan Bennett tripped James Poole in the area, set them on their way.
The Dons levelled with a penalty of their own from Harry Pell, but six minutes later Luke James got on the end of Walton's pass to head Pools ahead.
And Matty Dolan's low shot from 25 yards with seven minutes to go sealed the points for the home side.
