Crawley Town vs MK Dons - LIVE

FULL TIME: Crawley 3-0 MK Dons

That’s the absolute nightmare scenario. Out-scored, out-played and potentially out of the play-offs well before we get back to Stadium MK.

Second best all night, MK Dons will need a miracle back at MK1.

94 mins: Long-range effort

Why not eh? Max Dean chances his arm from about 40 yards, but it bounces in front of Addai who gathers

Six minutes to be added on

Attendance: 5,564 (675)

85 mins: Great from Harrison

Doing what Harrison does, he barrels his way through, works it out to Lofthouse who can’t control his shot and sends it over the bar

Adeyemo replaces Orsi for Crawley

81 mins: Flag goes up

Klaidi Lolos hits the bar and then heads in the rebound but he was offside

79 mins: More changes

Crawley replace Jeremy Kelly with Nick Tsaroulla

Dons replace Alex Gilbey and Jack Payne with Emre Tezgel and MJ Williams

73 mins: Dean clears the stand

You’d put your house on him normally to hit the target, but Max Dean taking aim from the edge of the box has stuck it over the stand behind the goal

71 mins: Sucker punch

That third goal has really knocked the stuffing out of Dons. They were playing the best they had been in the whole game until then but just look lost for ideas and a way out of this mess.

Lofthouse has looked lively since coming on but his cross was high enough for Addai to gather comfortably

65 mins: GOAL - Cruel deflection

They looked as though they were getting back into it, but a wicked deflection on Ronan Darcy’s cross has taken it over Michael Kelly and into the net.

It’s 3-0, and the mountain just got even bigger

Oh Harrison almost makes an immediate impression. Tomlinson breaks through the middle, slides the striker in but he puts his strike just wide

60 mins: Double change for both sides

Forster and Campbell off, Gordan and Darcy on for Crawley.

Meanwhile Ellis Harrison and Kyran Lofthouse replace Wearne and Norman

56 mins: Harvie gets a yellow

Bit unlucky there, the Scot, but as Forster pokes the ball past him, Harvie downs the midfielder and goes into the book

54 mins: Better from Dons

They’ve looked like they’ve turned up in the early stages of this second-half, MK Dons. A spell of possession, passing it nicely, having Crawley on the back foot.

52 mins: Addai saves

Decent from Tomlinson, cutting onto his right and taking aim from range but Addai punches it clear. One for the TV cameras, I think

51 mins: Crawley booking

Wearne looked to counter there, but Laurence Maguire brings him down for a yellow card

50 mins: Mistakes nearly costly

Poor pass out from Kelly, ball comes out to Forster but he can’t bend it towards goal
