Burton Albion 0-1 MK Dons

41 mins: Another great chance for Dons goes begging

I don’t know Eisa has missed. Parrott cuts inside onto his right boot and hits the post, but Eisa a handful of yards out should poke home but somehow fluffs his lines and it remains 0-0.

38 mins: Burton hit the bar

Ahadme fouls Lewington as he wins the header from a Burton corner, it hits the bar but wouldn’t have counted

32 mins: Dons still in control

Corbeanu still having a lot of joy on the right side for Dons, firing in an effort from the edge of the box which Garratt easily gathers.

At the other end, Cumming hasn’t had much to do aside from that earlier double-save, with Burton’s biggest threat seemingly coming when they boom set pieces into the box.

22 mins: Two great chances for Dons

Not really known for his attacking prowess, Josh McEachran has just hit a wonderful strike on goal which keeper Ben Garratt has done really well to tip over the bar.

The subsequent corner comes out to Tennai Watson who hits it on the volley which dips onto the bar with Garratt beaten.

13 mins: Corbeanu comes close

Oh how hasn’t that gone in?! Corbeanu fires it across goal but no-one gets a touch, and it’s out for a corner.

The corner finds him again at the back post but he hits the side netting.

9 mins: What a save from Cumming

We think the offside flag should have gone up for Jebbison’s run but he breaks down the left, crosses to Ahadme who heads on goal and brings out a great low save from the keeper who somehow denies the follow-up, deflecting it off a Burton leg to go behind for a goal kick.

Really not a lot in this game so far, that’s the best chance we’ve seen.

Off and underway at the Pirelli Stadium, Burton kicking off.

Theo Corbeanu feels Dons are in a good spot to fight for promotion this season. The 19-year-old has played three games since arriving on loan from Wolves earlier this month.

The position we're in in the league is a positive one. We can really look to push on now and continue our winning ways. We've had good, positive performances and we'll look to continue that. We're in a good position, we have a good shot at getting promoted but we're taking it one game at a time.
