Barrow 2-2 AFC Wimbledon

AFC Wimbledon came from two goals down to claim a point against Barrow on Saturday afternoon.

The home side started the brighter of the two sides and their pressure paid off in the 31st minute.

Paul Lorraine scored an own goal after the home side had pressed the visitors back into their own penalty area.

Both sides had chances to score before the interval but the goalkeepers made sure the scoreline stayed the same come the half-time whistle.

Barrow doubled their advantage two minutes after the restart when Jason Walker brilliantly volleyed Craig Nelthorpe's corner into the back of the net.

The second goal spurred AFC Wimbledon on and a touch of fortune pulled them back into the game.

Barrow goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson fumbled a routine save on 63 minutes and Elliott Godfrey was on hand to make it 2-1.

And the visitors completed their spirited comeback in the 76th minute.

Jon Main powerfully met Sam Hatton's corner kick to make sure his side's efforts were rewarded with a point.

The point leaves Barrow in 16th place, while AFC Wimbledon stay put in 10th.
