FULL TIME: Burton 1-2 MK Dons

Second half kicked into life a bit there. Bird and Darling with the goals, O’Riley’s OG made a bit more of a spectacle of it in the last 20 mins or so, but in the end, a fairly comfortable one.

GOAL: 67 mins: Burton back in it

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.

GOAL 64 mins: Darling doubles the lead

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!

GOAL! 58 mins: Bird fires Dons in front

O’Riley whips it to Watson, crosses to find Martin who sends his defender for a walk, the shot takes a couple of deflections but Bird was on hand to fire it in at the near post!

57 mins: Dons make their first change

Matt O’Riley replaces Josh McEachran after the midfielder takes a blow to the face.

52 mins: McEachran and Williams tied together

A bizarre moment sees the Dons midfielder and Burton man somehow getting their boots tied together and neither can move without yanking at the other!

Burton restart the game.
