AFC Wimbledon Suffer Humbling Defeat in League Opener
AFC Wimbledon's League One campaign got off to a disastrous start as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Huddersfield Town. The Dons were thrashed by the Terriers, who produced a consummate team display to triumph 3-0.
What Happened?
Derensli Fernandes made a dream debut for Huddersfield Town, scoring a double in the opening 16 minutes. The Brazilian's first goal came after a fantastic block tackle by Joe Taylor, who then slipped a defence-splitting pass to Fernandes. The second goal was a result of a slick move involving Ilias Bronkhorst and Ledson, which opened up Wimbledon and allowed Fernandes to find the net.
