The visitors. without Andy Townsend, took control from the start and missed several chances before taking a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute.
Ray Houghton found Kevin Richardson on the edge of the box. and the midfielder swivelled before shooting low passed Hans Seger.
Wimbledon levelled six minutes before the break, when Dean Holdsworth headed home from close range.
Houghton volleyed wide and Saunders had an effort disallowed for handball, before the inevitable goal arrived eight minutes from time. .
Paul McGrath got the faintest of touches at the near post from Steve Staunton's corner to send the ball home.
