Josh Windass’ penalty on 22 minutes was enough to separate the sides, though the awarding of the spot-kick had Dons boss Liam Manning furious with the officials after the game.
Here’s how we rated the players at Stadium MK
9. Nathan Holland - 4.5
An anonymous performance really. Struggled to make an impact in the opening half before limping out early in the second Photo: Jane Russell
10. Louie Barry - 7.5
A really promising display from the on-loan Villa man. Wanted the ball at every opportunity, was eager to run at defenders and fizzed some good balls into the danger zone in the first half especially. Photo: Jane Russell
11. Will Grigg - 6.5
Caused a problem as he floated between the defenders, forcing a good stop from Stockdale when he pounced on a loose back-pass. Concerns though as he limped out early with a hamstring issue Photo: Jane Russell
12. Sub: Matt Dennis - 7.5
A real handful coming on to replace Grigg. Tricky, clever on the ball, brought his team-mates into the fray. Photo: Jane Russell
