Ebbsfleet were denied their first home Blue Square Premier win of the season when AFC Wimbledon equalised in the fourth minute of stoppage time on Saturday.

Former Ebbsfleet striker Luke Moore had put the visitors in front after 27 minutes at Stonebridge Road when he fired the ball into the bottom left hand corner of the net.

But Fleet were back on terms five minutes before the break when Luis Cumbers (pictured), signed on loan from Gillingham on Friday, drove the high into the middle of the goal.

The game began to open up in the latter stages and Magno Vieira put the Fleet in front when he cracked a 25-yard volley into the net after 78 minutes.

Wimbledon were reduced to 10 men when Jay Conroy was red-carded for a foul on Jamie Forshaw.

But, despite being a man down, they grabbed a point four minutes into stoppage time when a cross from Chris Hussey was headed past keeper Lance Cronin by Ross Montague.
