Ghana forward Kwesi Appiah scores winner as AFC Wimbledon beat Blackburn

Published on: 17 September 2017

Ghana striker Kwesi Appiah scored his second goal in the English Championship as AFC Wimbledon beat Blackburn Rovers at the Ewood Park.

Kwesi Appiah's early goal was enough as AFC Wimbledon defeated Blackburn in their first ever meeting.

Appiah reacted quickest in the 16th minute to his blocked shot before firing into the top corner as Neal Ardley's men won on the road for the first time this season.

The hosts started strongest, with Dominic Samuel's long-range effort forcing Long into a first-minute low save, but the Dons scored with their first chance.

Appiah's first shot was blocked but he made no mistake with an emphatic close-range finish for his second goal of the season.

Appiah could have had a second after the break but David Raya tipped wide, and Dack thought he had equalised but Long did brilliantly to parry his deflected header six yards out.
