After going behind to a brilliant volley from Ronan Coughlan - the constant thorn in Dons’ side - Callum Paterson’s 16th goal of the season drew Paul Warne’s side level at Highbury Stadium.
But knowing a win would win them the title, Dons were unable to make the breakthrough and had to settle for League Two’s runner-up spot.
