It’s all over, 2-2.

George Miller is down and there’s a scuffle involving several players and staff from both teams at the final whistle.

Another extraordinary end to the game. This Rovers team don’t know when they’re beaten.

They probably deserved something from the game on the balance of play but they’ve made very hard work of it. You can’t knock the spirit though.

Rovers remain unbeaten in League Two.

Rovers almost grab a winner as they pile forward and Andrews shoots just wide!

Wowzers.

90+4 GOAL ROVERS!!!

Williams heads home at the death! Incredible!

Mitchell’s up for the corner and he almost connects!

Five minutes to be added on.

Can Rovers come up with some more late drama following last weekend’s antics?

Faulkner on for Maxwell.

The kitchen sink is about to be thrown at Wimbledon.

Game over you say? No it’s not.

Rowe hammers one home from the edge of the box!

And just like that it’s game over.

Assal does brilliantly down the right and Young-Coombes gets in front of Williams to prod home.

Kuleya goes agonisingly close!

He beats his man on the left, cuts inside and his curled effort clips the bar.

Agard is on for Hurst.

Andrews wins Rovers a freekick in a decent position. Clayton to swing one in.

ON Andrews, Kuleya

OFF Tomlin, Biggins

Davison’s header from Brown’s cross comes back off the post but Young-Coombes is there to scramble the ball over the line.

The game is more stretched now, with both teams taking turns to mount attacks.

Another drinks break might just stem the flow of the game, however.

Williams the latest to go into the book for a late challenge.

Assal fires an effort just wide of Mitchell’s right-hand post.

62 GOAL DISALLOWED!

Rovers fail to defend the freekick and Davison prods home from close range.

But referee Ollie Yates spotted something and the goal has been disallowed.

Foul by Clayton on the edge of Rovers’ box.

Freekick - and Rovers’ skipper is walking a tightrope following that yellow card in the first half.
