Five minutes before half-time and the hosts were reduced to ten-men. Francomb’s strong challenge on Rob Kiernan was deemed dangerous, and he was given his marching orders by the referee.Despite the man advantage for the second-half, Phil Brown’s side found it difficult to break down the Dons’ defence.
Fulham loanee Woodrow came off the bench to head in his fourth Blues goal in the 76th minute, handing them all three points away from home.

League Two
Cambridge 1-0 Braintree
Luke Berry's first half strike gave Cambridge United a hard-fought victory over Braintree.
Braintree threatened through Dan Holman, who saw a swerving shot palmed away by Maxwell, but after the break United should have increased their lead. A low shot from Greg Taylor had to be parried away by Hamann, who also did well to stop a Cunnington shot.
Berry saw a header cleared off the line after meeting a Tait corner, but the second goal didn’t come, and Braintree almost levelled in the closing stages when Cox got his head on a cross from the left but saw Maxwell make a diving save to push the ball away for a corner.
