Highlights of the Carabao Cup second-round tie between Wimbledon and Ipswich Town

Goalkeeper Owen Goodman was AFC Wimbledon’s hero as the League Two side dumped Premier League Ipswich out of the Carabao Cup on penalties following a 2-2 draw.

Ali Al-Hamadi, who joined Ipswich from Wimbledon in January, scored the opener but Omar Bugiel equalised for the hosts just before half-time.

Mathew Stevens gave the hosts a 2-1 lead in the 56th minute but Conor Chaplin capitalised on a Goodman mistake in the closing stages to send the match to penalties.

However, referee James Linington waved his appeal away amid a torrent of pointed chants from the Dons fans.

Bugiel thought he had equalised only to be judged off-side, but it was clear that the hosts were growing in confidence as the half progressed

They got their equaliser five minutes before the break as Bugiel nodded Reeves' superb free-kick into the bottom-right corner to spark euphoric scenes at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

Ipswich flooded the Wimbledon penalty area with dangerous deliveries immediately after half-time, but the Dons defence did enough to repel the onslaught.

The hosts did not have their first chance of the second half until the 55th minute, but it was worth the wait.

Another superb Reeves free-kick from the right flank was prodded into the top-left corner by Stevens as the home fans dared to dream.

Goodman turned a goal-bound loose ball behind for a corner after a melee in the Wimbledon box caused chaos.

However, he was at fault for Ipswich's equaliser.

The Crystal Palace loanee failed to collect a high ball, allowing Chaplin to head it into the back of the net, sending the match straight to penalties.

The first four were all scored, but Reeves fired over the crossbar to make the home fans sweat.

They need not have worried as Goodman made two crucial saves before Ogundere scored the decisive spot kick.
