AFC Wimbledon 0 Gillingham 2: Mikael Mandron and Jordan Green strike late in Carabao Cup first round match at Plough Lane

Mikael Mandron and Jordan Green scored late goals to send Gillingham through to the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Gillingham missed a golden early chance, had a penalty appeal turned down and a goal ruled out but in the final minute Mandron scored the opener and Green doubled the lead in stoppage-time.

Harris shuffled his side around for the cup tie, as much as he could with limited options. Five changes were made from the side which beat Rochdale in the league at the weekend.

The Gills were back at Plough Lane for the second time in nine days, having started their season with a disappointing 1-0 loss. The Dons included some of the key men from that performance, including midfield linchpin Paris Maghoma.

Neil Harris not only changed personnel but also formation, choosing to match up to the visitors wing-back set-up. Former Dons defender Cheye Alexander and David Tutonda came in to play on the flanks for Gills.

Gillingham had a great early opportunity to take the lead but after that the hosts took charge of the opening half. Striker Lewis Walker - who was on trial with Wimbledon before the season - put a shot wide with just the keeper to beat after Shaun Williams played him in with a fantastic ball forward.

It was the best moment of the half for the Gills. From then on Wimbledon grew in confidence, testing Jake Turner who was making his competitive debut for the visitors.

Turner comfortably dealt with a low shot from George Marsh but moments later spilled a powerful Will Nightingale effort and was grateful to see the ball drop just short of waiting striker Nathan Young-Coombes.

The Gills stopper had to save from Kyle Hudlin with his feet after Dons burst forward through Ayoub Assal after he had caught Alex MacDonald in
