Fleetwood goalkeeper Alex Cairns flapped the ball into his own net to put Wycombe 2-1 upWycombe Wanderers comfortably beat nine-man Fleetwood Town in an extraordinary League One play-off semi-final which produced three goals in the first six minutes. A breathtaking first half at Highbury Stadium also contained a missed Wanderers penalty after Fleetwood's Lewis Coyle was sent off for a reckless challenge on Jacobson before David Wheeler made it 3-1 at the break. Evans levelled things from the spot after Wanderers goalkeeper Ryan Allsop nudged over Lewis Gibson, although that soft penalty was as good as it got for Joey Barton's men. Costly errors, not only from goalkeeper Cairns, but Coyle's lunge at Jacobson in the box and Madden's foul language towards the assistant referee contributed to their demise. In contrast, Wycombe were excellent on the ball and clinical in front of goal and have taken a huge stride towards the play-off final.
