Burton and AFC Wimbledon had to settle for a point apiece in a rain-soaked affair at the Pirelli Stadium.

Both goals came with a minute of each other, with half-time substitute Ryan Longman breaking the deadlock for the Dons with a driving run and composed finish from a tight angle after 65 minutes.

Burton striker Kane Hemmings scored for the second weekend running moments later, calmly guiding Colin Daniel's cross home via the inside of a post.

On a greasy surface not helped by the incessant rain during the first half, it was no surprise that clear chances were at a premium.

Albion certainly looked the likelier to grab a goal as Daniel was denied by a defender on the line in the early exchanges.

Wimbledon's Connal Trueman was the busier of the two goalkeepers, making fingertip saves from Lucas Akins on the stroke of half-time and from Steven Lawless early in the second half.
