WimbledonAFC Wimbledon3MansfieldMansfield Town1
AFC Wimbledon came from behind to defeat Mansfield and keep up their League Two play-off challenge.
Matt Green put the Stags in front with a tap-in before Lyle Taylor levelled when he calmly slotted the ball into the centre of the goal.
Jonathan Meades put the hosts ahead with a powerful header from Callum Kennedy's corner.
Late on Tom Elliot flicked the ball through to Adebayo Azeez who chipped over Brian Jensen to seal victory.
AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley told BBC Radio London:
"Credit to the boys, they had a lot to do at 1-0 down but the attitude they've shown over the last four of five games (has been great) and they were too strong for them.
"The attitude and the energy we've played with has been phenomenal.
"We've got to make sure that our second half of the season is much, much stronger than our first half."
