Since making their double-change when they fell 2-0 down, Burton have thrown it forwards and got a little bit of luck there as their free-kick into the mixer is headed past Walker by Matt O’Riley.

Wait all day for a bus and two come along at once!
A free-kick straight off the training ground, O’Riley is once again involved as he pulls it wide to Watson who gives it to Brown on the edge of the box to shoot. The effort is brilliantly saved by Balcombe, but Darling is on hand to convert from close range for his first goal for Dons!
