Kwesi Appiah scores last gasp winner to send AFC Wimbledon through in FA Cup

Published on: 05 January 2019

Ghana forward Kwesi Appiah scored the winner as AFC Wimbledon beat Fleetwood Town in a five goal thriller to progress to the fourth round of the English FA Cup. 

A dramatic 90th minute winner from Kwesi Appiah secured AFC Wimbledon a place in the next stage of the Emirates FA Cup for the first time since the club was reformed.

Wimbledon went in front thanks to Andy Barcham's clever turn and shot, while Anthony Hartigan scored from the edge the box to double their lead.

Paddy Madden bundled in for the hosts and Ched Evans levelled from the spot after he was fouled by Tennai Watson.

But Appiah scored a dramatic winner when he finished with a fine low shot.

The Dons are bottom of League One but have now won three away games in the competition to reach the fourth round for the first time in their 16-year history.
