A calamitous own goal from Jack Armer gave Wycombe Wanderers all three points as they defeated struggling Burton Albion 2-0 at Adams Park.
The away side started the better as JJ McKiernan’s close-range but unmarked header was blocked, whilst Charlie Webster’s long-range strike was saved by Will Norris.
This was as good as it got for the Brewers in the opening 45 minutes as the Chairboys began to take control.
Luke Leahy and Cameron Humphreys were pulling the strings in the centre of the park as their through balls found Dan Udoh and Richard Kone.
Both were thwarted by a stubborn Burton backline, but a terrific strike by Udoh on 15 minutes gave Wanderers the lead.
He was assisted by his strike partner, with the Nigerian arrowing his shot from 14 -yards beyond Max Crocombe for his eighth of the season.
The second period saw Wycombe continue to boss the ball as Crocombe denied Kone in quick succession, but a moment of madness sealed Mike Dodds’ side all three points.
On the hour mark, miscommunication between Crocombe and Jack Armer saw the latter place the ball beyond his own keeper in comical fashion.
Jack Grimmer hit the post hit the post whilst Norris brilliantly denied McKiernan’s long-range attempt.
Wycombe stay second on 67 points whilst Burton remain in the drop zone.
