AFC Wimbledon 0-3 Mansfield
Tuesday 20 October 2026 22:31, UK
Michael Smith scored twice for Mansfield as they eased to a 3-0 victory against AFC Wimbledon at Plough Lane.
It could have been even more for the Stags as they made it five games unbeaten in League One by making light work of the struggling Dons who suffered a third straight league defeat.
Mansfield had a deserved lead in the 22nd minute when a corner was taken short to Stephen McLaughlin whose cross was headed in by Smith at the back post.
The same combination did the trick again for the visitors five minutes later as another cross from McLaughlin was nodded in by an unmarked Smith.
Wimbledon improved in the second half, but the closest they came to scoring was when Jayden Stockley struck the underside of the crossbar from Aron Sasu's cross.
Instead, Jon Russell made the game safe for Mansfield after 73 minutes with a delightful finish into the top corner.
Rhys Oates had a stoppage-time effort tipped on to the bar by Wimbledon goalkeeper Josef Bursik as the Stags settled for three.
