However, Jamie Sterry netted a deflected equaliser 11 minutes from time to set up a grandstand finish, though neither side could find a winner.

The game took a twist on 28 minutes when Wimbledon skipper Reeves was dismissed for a high and late challenge on Harry Clifton.
Doncaster pushed hard for the leveller with Rob Street and Owen Bailey going close.
The pattern continued in the second half until Sharp saw red after an off-the-ball incident with Joe Lewis on 72 minutes.
