Joe Pigott scores crucial winner for AFC Wimbledon as they close gap to League One safety

BY RICHARD CAWLEY

Joe Pigott scored against his old club Southend United – to further invigorate AFC Wimbledon’s hopes of beating the League One drop.

The striker’s 13th goal of the campaign earned a 1-0 victory at Roots Hall.

The Dons are three points adrift of safety with Southend, winless in 10 matches, just above the drop-zone.
