Wimbledon 0-1 Walsall: George Bennett's player ratings

Tommy Simkin - 8 (Clean sheet) 

Kept his fourth away league clean sheet of the season and made a smart stop to deny Myles Hippolyte in the second half.

David Okagbue - 8 (Impressive) 

Riding high after making his debut for Republic of Ireland under-21s and kept the good times rolling with an assist for Nathan Lowe's winner and all-round top performance.

Donervon Daniels - 7 (Grew) 

Caught out on a couple of occasions but played a key role in stifling Wimbledon's set piece threat in the second half.

Taylor Allen - 7 (Crucial) 

Uncharacteristically struggled with his delivery but made a crucial intervention to prevent Omar Bugiel and Matty Stevens from catching Walsall on the counter.

Ryan Stirk - 7 (Vocal) 

Was a vocal force in the heart of midfield and showed grit and determination to help guide his side through a scrappy battle.

Connor Barrett - 7 (Solid) 

Defended solidly overall and played a decisive role in the build-up to Lowe's winner with a beautiful threaded pass to find Okagbue.

Jamie Jellis - 7 (Battled) 

Troubled Wimbledon with a number of driving runs and battled relentlessly off the ball in a gruelling contest.

Charlie Lakin - 7 (Selfless) 

Perhaps guilty of a lack of precision in possession at times but produced a really selfless display to help keep Wimbledon at bay.

Liam Gordon - 7 (Tireless) 

Put in another tireless performance down the left after a busy week of travelling on international duty with Guyana.

Nathan Lowe - 8 (Match Winner) 

Had a couple of good opportunities either side of his winner but kept his composure at the decisive moment to score his 11th of the season in all competitions.

Jamille Matt - 7 (Battled)

Struggled with illness in the build-up to kick-off and found himself isolated at times in the first half but that didn't prevent him putting in a tireless shift.

Substitutes 

Brandon Comley (for Lakin, 72) 7 

Helped provide extra defensive cover to reduce Wimbledon's attacking threat late on.

Albert Adomah (for Matt, 77) 7 

Added an extra injection of energy and carried the ball to the corner on a number of occasions to close the game out.

Unused: Hornby, McEntee, Earing, Hall, Johnson.
