AFC Wimbledon secured a vital 1-0 victory over relegation-threatened Northampton at the County Ground. Callum Maycock opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a tap-in from Marcus Browne's cut-back. The Dons dominated early pressure, with Myles Hippolyte hitting the post and James Tilley forcing a save from Lee Burge before half-time. Burge made a crucial save to deny Maycock late in the first half. Northampton have now gone six consecutive League One games without a win, extending their relegation battle.

Joe McDonnell made two key saves to preserve the clean sheet, denying Tom Eaves and Jake Evans. The result leaves Northampton with only 25 points from 27 games, while Wimbledon move to 41 points with a crucial three points added to their tally.
