James Tilley scored twice as AFC Wimbledon recorded their first league victory of the season with a 2-0 win at Colchester.
The Dons started well and Colchester goalkeeper Owen Goodman made a fine save to deny Omar Bugiel.
But Colchester almost went ahead in the 19th minute through John Akinde, who was foiled from close range by goalkeeper Alex Bass.
The game ebbed and flowed and Goodman got down low at his near post to save Tilley’s effort while Armani Little’s low strike flashed wide soon after.
Colchester then spurned a great chance when Joe Taylor fired a low shot past the post from the edge of the area.
Wimbledon went ahead in the 54th minute through Tilley, who converted from close range after Josh Neufville had escaped down the left and crossed.
Tilley then doubled the Dons’ lead in the 85th minute when he finished clinically after being found by Neufville in the area.
Neufville’s strike rattled the underside of the bar in stoppage time as Wimbledon claimed victory.
