Crawley cruise past Dons

Midfielder Dannie Bulman struck two second-half goals to extend Crawley's winning run to six games with a 5-2 victory at AFC Wimbledon.

The Red Devils looked home and dry inside 10 minutes after Chris Bush's own goal and Claude Davis' header put them 2-0 up only for Davis to put through his own net after 11 minutes. Jack Midson levelled the game before the break only for Matt Tubbs to put Crawley in front again from the penalty spot before Bulman's double made the game safe. The Dons suffered a nightmare start when Bush sliced Andy Drury's corner into his own goal after four minutes. Things went from bad to worse when Davis doubled Crawley's advantage with a thumping header from another Drury corner after eight minutes. The Red Devils saw their lead halved two minutes later when Davis steered Lee Minshull's cross into his own net. Midson drew the Dons level with his fifth goal in six games after 44 minutes but despite seeing manager Steve Evans sent to the stands at the break, Crawley rallied. West Ham loanee Callum McNaughton was adjudged to have handled in the box after 53 minutes and Tubbs converted the penalty before Dannie Bulman headed in twice in the final 30 minutes.
