Cheltenham Town vs MK Dons - LIVE

There’s the whistle! Dons win it!

NO! Leko taps in but the flag is up

95 mins: Time ticking

Dons so far are seeing out this stoppage time at a leisurely pace. Cheltenham did force a corner but it was awful, and went out for a throw

Seven minutes to be added

89 mins: How's he stopped that?!

Kelly’s free-kick into the box, Maguire gambles and gets to it, somehow Day keeps it out

Arkell Jude-Boyd into the book for a foul on Kelly.

Dons replace Joe White with Aaron Nemane

86 mins: Leko things

We’ve missed that... Jonathan Leko has the freedom of the Cheltenham half to run into, but somehow trips over his own feet

Five minutes plus stoppage time to go... nerves settling in up here

84 mins: On the break

From Cheltenham’s corner, Liam Kelly breaks up field, brilliant ball inside to White to carry it on, but he tries to go it alone when he had Tomlinson in support, eventually loses possession for a Cheltenham throw

Sub for each team:

Bakare is replaced by Miller for Cheltenham

Crowley comes off for Kelly for Dons

Orsi’s perseverance nearly pays off as the clearance is rushed as far as Tomlinson, forcing Day into a good save. Orsi picks up the loose ball, but his effort is just wide of the top corner

73 mins: Putting himself about

Leko is showing no nerves on his comeback, already throwing himself about, getting on the ball, chasing things down and sticking Ibrahim Bakare on the deck while battling in the air

Cheltenham make a fourth change - Tom King replaces Ethan Williams

For the first time since January 2024, Jonathan Leko is coming on for MK Dons.

He’s replacing Callum Hendry.

Important interception from Lemonheigh-Evans as Archer breaks into the box, the Dons man playing it off the striker for a goal kick.

Callum Hendry needs treatment for his knee after a thumping 50-50 on half-way.

Jonathan Leko getting some instructions, might be coming on

Two changes for Cheltenham: Taylor and Adedokun off, Hay and Dulson on

Adedokun down and in need of treatment, giving both sets of players a break.

Dons looking good at the moment, not really giving Day anything to worry about majorly but in the ascendency at least

56 mins: Spectacular

Wow, a wildly acrobatic effort from Hendry sails out of the ground after Dons’ drop ball is crossed into the mixer.

Half a handball shout in there for good measure on Sam Stubbs but the ref is unmoved.

Trueman gets dumped on the deck by Taylor, nothing given, but the Dons keeper bounces up and take offence and has a dig back at the Cheltenham keeper.

Bit of a scuffle, the referee pulls them both for a word. And on we go
