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

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.
