Floodlight failure, a last-minute equaliser, an extra-time winner and a pitch invasion…
Wednesday night’s League Two play-off semi-final second leg between Accrington Stanley and AFC Wimbledon had everything – and that was before Sky Sports pundit Ian Holloway got around to his post-match analysis.
Giant Wimbledon striker and all-round cult hero Adebayo Akinfenwa came off the bench to head home the 90th minute goal that made the score 2-1 on the night and 2-2 on aggregate, sending the game to extra time
This set the stage for Lyle Taylor’s 104th minute winner to send Wimbledon to the Wembley final against Plymouth.
Akinfenwa, nicknamed “The Beast”, is a firm fan favourite and the 16-stone striker, who once scored against Liverpool, is considered the strongest footballer in the world.
Former Blackpool manager Holloway has a theory on how Akinfenwa got so big: he ate his own twin.

Cue some wonderful girlish giggles from presenter Scott Minto, who was quite taken with Ollie’s theory.
League Two football, you have to love it.
