Bristol Rovers 2-0 AFC Wimbledon: Ed Upson off the mark in much-needed win

Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Bristol Rovers and AFC Wimbledon.

Summer signing Ed Upson netted his first League One goal for Bristol Rovers in a 2-0 home win over fellow strugglers AFC Wimbledon.

The hosts went in front in the 35th minute when Dons goalkeeper Joe McDonnell failed to deal with a Sam Matthews inswinging corner under his crossbar and the ball went in, with Upson claiming the final touch inside the six-yard box.

It was 2-0 in the 53rd minute when Michael Kelly's cross from the left took a deflection and centre-back Will Nightingale's attempt to clear saw him volley an own goal past McDonnell.

Wimbledon had started well, with James Hanson sending a low shot from 25 yards against a post in the seventh minute.

Hanson also headed over and set up an early chance for Jake Jervis, whose close range effort was smothered by goalkeeper Jack Bonham.
