Liam Boyce strike after 20 minutes was the difference on the scoreboard as Dons prodded and probed to no avail. Here's how the players rated.
9. Rhys Healey - 7.5
Had a lot of joy on the left flank, had the beating of his man too, became isolated as the game narrowed and became congested.
10. Joe Mason - 7
Like Healey on the opposite side, Mason saw a few shots go just wide and was smothered out in the second half as Burton sat deep.
11. Carlton Morris - 7
Great hold-up play in the first half with a lot of their attacks beginning with him. Forced O'Hara into his only meaningful save in the second half.
12. Sam Nombe - 5 (Sub)
Poor from the striker. Introduced to add to the front line, he gave the ball away almost every time and earned a Gilbey rollicking in stoppage time.
