A late goal from Troy Deeney saw Forest Green Rovers salvage a valuable point at unbeaten AFC Wimbledon.

A combination of Deeney and Tyrese Omotoye bundled the ball over the line after the former Watford had lofted the ball over AFC Wimbledon 'keeper Alex Bass.

David Horseman made four changes to the side that lost 3-0 at home to Newport County last week, bringing Matty Taylor, Reece Welch Nathan Holland in for their first starts of the season, and Harvey Bunker also returning to the XI.

The hosts started the game brightly but it was Rovers who went close after just 15 minutes. Kyle McAllister laid the ball off to Charlie McCann on the edge of the box - and the midfielder's curling right footed effort kissed the post.

FGR had another chance to take the lead 12 minutes later. Jamie Robson put in a delicious cross from the left side, finding the head of Matty Stevens six yards out, but his header was saved by Bass.

AFC Wimbledon took the lead 10 minutes before the break, with James Ball rising highest from a corner. James Tilley could have doubled the advantage just before the interval, but his free-kick just went over Luke Daniels' bar.

Rovers wrestled back some control in the second period, with Deeney and Omotoye causing problems after coming on in the 60th minute.

There were two huge moments on the three quarters of an hour mark. Firstly, Ali Al-Hamadi beat the offside trap and raced through one-on-one with Daniels. With just the 'keeper to beat, the forward blasted the ball well over the bar.

60 seconds later, Rovers equalised. A defence-splitting ball from McCann found Deeney, who looped the ball over the head of Bass - and then the ball somehow made its way across the line, with Omotoye and Deeney helping to bundle it over.

Rovers were under pressure in the final moments - but Daniels was at his dependable best to keep out Josh Neufville and Al-Hamadi.
