Here's how we rated the players.
. Top Don: Lee Nicholls - 8.5
A brilliant return to the side with a string of top-notch saves to keep Dons in the game until the death.
. Dean Lewington - 6.5
Played his team-mates into trouble on a number of occasions, and almost gifted Ashley Barnes the opener in the first half. Recovered but not at his best.
. Richard Keogh - 7.5
Shown the red card twice after VAR overturned his initial sending off. Used his experience to read the game well.
. George Williams - 8
Dons' best defender for the hour he was on the field. Great tackles, excellent in the air, barking orders to everyone.
. Regan Poole - 7
Decent at right wing-back, better at centre back when he shifted inside in the second half.
. Daniel Harvie - 6.5
A regular and useful outlet in the first half but his impact faded in the second as Burnley pressed on.
13. Joe Mason - 6 (sub)
Had little to work with as Dons' attacking presence had dried up when he came on.
14. Lewis Johnson - 6.5 (sub)
Full of running but was often left chasing and tracking back. Showed some good stuff on the ball.
15. Matthew Sorinola - 6.5 (sub)
Ran down a few too many cul de sacs and his final ball was wanting. Gave Dons some extra energy in the closing stages.
