Floodlight failure, last-minute equaliser, extra-time winner and a pitch invasion... last night's League Two play-off semi-final second leg between Accrington Stanley and AFC Wimbledon had everything.
And that was before Sky Sports pundit Ian Holloway got around to his post-match analysis. Giant Wimbledon striker and all-round cult hero Adebayo Akinfenwa came off the bench to head home the 90th minute goal that made the score 2-1 on the night and 2-2 on aggregate. Lyle Taylor's 104th minute winner was enough to send Wimbledon to the Wembley final against Plymouth. Akinfenwa, nicknamed "The Beast", is a firm fan favourite and the 16-stone striker, who once scored against Liverpool, is considered the strongest footballer in the world. Former Blackpool manager Holloway has a theory on how Akinfenwa got so big: he ate his won twin. https://twitter.com/NYcheesy/status/733050883848556544 Cue some wonderful girlish giggles from presenter Scott Minto, who was quite taken with Ollie's theory. League Two football, you have to love it.
