Akinfenwa earns Wimbledon a point with late header at 10-man Orient
Adebayo Akinfenwa's late header earned AFC Wimbledon a 1-1 draw in their Sky Bet League Two clash at Leyton Orient, who finished with 10 men.
Orient striker Jay Simpson put the home side ahead on 19 minutes with his 15th goal of the campaign and his fourth in three games.
Simpson, who had been nursing an ankle problem this week, ran onto a through ball from John Marquis down the right-hand side, before placing his shot from 14 yards in to the left-hand corner.
It was then something of a scrappy affair before striker Marquis collected his second yellow card on 58 minutes for a foul on Paul Robinson.
The Dons went on to dominate possession and pressed around the O's penalty area.
Eventually the resistance of the home side was broken with 10 minutes left when substitute Adebayo Azeez floated over a cross, which was nodded in from six yards at the far post by Akinfenwa.
