Adebayo Akinfenwa has delivered a hilarious response to Ian Holloway, after the Sky Sports pundit jokingly claimed the AFC Wimbledon striker had eaten his own twin.

Akinfenwa played a key role in the Dons' play-off victory over Accrington on Wednesday night, coming off the bench at half-time to help his side to a 3-2 aggregate win and secure their passage to Wembley.

And Holloway sent presenter Scott Minto into fits of laughter on Sky Sports after the game, saying of the bulky striker: "I heard he had a twin, and he ate him!"
