Darren Carter looked to have won it as Northampton came from behind to lead 2-1 but the Dons produced another late comeback to snatch a point.

For the third home game in succession Cobblers faced a side reduced to 10 men with the first-half dismissal of Wimbledon's Jack Midson and again failed to make the most of their numerical advantage.

Chris Hackett flashed a shot wide as Cobblers started well but Charlie Wyke headed wide before the visitors broke the deadlock in the 14th minute when Tom Richards crossed for George Francomb to finish well.
