AFC Wimbledon skipper Jason Goodliffe is hoping he can lift his strike rate in a bid to chase down Ryman League Premier Division leaders Chelmsford City.

The 33-year-old centre back bundled in an injury-time winner to hand the Dons a 2-1 triumph over Margate on Tuesday - moments after lashing a close range volley well wide.

It put Wimbledon's play-off hunt back on track after Saturday's disappointing defeat at Heybridge Swifts by the same score.

But Goodliffe has not given up hope of claiming the title, warning his team mates of the mistakes they have made in the past.

"I've been short on goals this year, but that is my third and hopefully it will be the catalyst for a few more by the end of the season," he said.

"It is all about getting as many points as we can to keep the pressure on Chelmsford, so if they have a bit of a blip we are ready to move on them.

"The most important thing is ourselves. We've been in this position before and shot ourselves in the foot. We have to keep grinding out the wins."

Goodliffe's late show came after a sparkling display from loan duo Romone Rose and Luis Cumbers, which saw the former give his side the lead on 79 minutes after sprinting clear of the offside trap.

A horrendous mix up at a corner gifted Margate an equaliser with three minutes on the clock, before the Dons captain sealed the points.

Terry Brown, who was delighted with the style of football his side produced, felt his young strike force ran the visitors ragged and their performance was not lost on Goodliffe either.

"They are young, energetic and have great pace. They are both from good backgrounds and being here will be good experience for them," he added.

"They have both shown their quality in front of goal in the last four or five games.

"I'm delighted Romone scored on Tuesday, hopefully now it will give them confidence moving on."
