Adebayo Akinfenwa and Joe Jacobson secure win for Wycombe
Posted Sunday, October 07, 2018 by PA
Adebayo Akinfenwa’s 200th goal in English football and a penalty from Joe Jacobson secured Wycombe a 2-1 win against Burton.
Two goals in seven minutes set the Chairboys on their way to victory, although Marvin Sordell’s goal shortly after half-time threatened a Burton comeback.
However, Wycombe held on for their first home League One victory of the season.
After a quiet opening period, Craig Mackail-Smith was clumsily barged over in the box by Kyle McFadzean after 30 minutes and Jacobson stepped up to open the scoring on his 200th game for the Chairboys.
Randell Williams then escaped his man and his cross from the left was met by Akinfenwa, whose powerful header extended his side’s lead.
However, early in the second half, Liam Boyce’s inch-perfect ball left Sordell one-on-one with Ryan Allsop and he rounded the goalkeeper with ease to reduce the deficit.
Burton had further opportunities with Sordell spooning over from close range but Wycombe saw out the rest of the game.
