FULL TIME: Doncaster Rovers 3-0 MK Dons
MK Dons' unbeaten run comes to a screeching halt away at Doncaster as their miserable record here continues.
All the damage was done in the first-half, and Doncaster were able to cruise through the second period without much to worry about from the visitors.
Happy New Year
93 mins: Over the bar
Summing up Dons' afternoon, Leko bundles into the area, pulls it back to Dean who hits the back of the stand with the ball.
89 mins: Final Rovers changes
Ironside and Biggins off, Straughtan-Brown and Goodman on for the remainder
81 mins: Dean with a chance
Good hit from Max Dean, just inside the box, but Jones in the Rovers net tips it over
80 mins: Into the final 10
Dons increasingly looking like they will leave Doncaster yet again with nothing, with time running out here and no real chances of which to speak.
Mike Williamson is going for it though, Conor Grant coming on to replace Dean Lewington
78 mins: Double Doncaster change
Goal-scorers Tommy Rowe and Luke Molyneux come off for Doncaster, replaced by Kyle Hurst and Tom Nixon
76 mins: Lewington gets a yellow
Jamie Sterry stands in front of Dean Lewington to deny the skipper getting on the end of the pass, Lewington sticks him on the deck. Yellow card
74 mins: Dean into the book
He can't believe it (can he ever?) but Max Dean goes into the book for a trip on half-way
70 mins: Well wide
Decent move from Doncaster but Ironside's shot from 20 yards out was never troubling MacGillivray
67 mins: First change for Rovers
Mo Faal makes way for Tavonga Kuleya for the hosts.
Not a lot else to report in this half to be honest.
63 mins: Harrison time
Ellis Harrison comes on for Mo Eisa. No joy whatsoever for the striker.
Alex Gilbey also makes way for Jonathan Leko
60 mins: No change
Still nothing sticking for MK Dons, despite seeing more of the ball. Can't quite get anything to unlock the Rovers midfield, let alone the defence.
54 mins: Home side with first chance
Finally back playing again after some scuffles and a lot of faffing, Molyneux has an effort blocked by Lewington for a corner
50 mins: Olowu down
Doncaster defender Joseph Olowu is down getting treatment, a little break in play
Second-half
Dons were out early for the second-half, let's hope Mike Williamson's team-talk rattles them into life.
We're back underway
HALF TIME: Doncaster Rovers 3-0 MK Dons
Ufff, what an opening to 2024 for MK Dons. Unable to get anything to stick anywhere on the pitch, they've been overrun by a good Doncaster performance and frankly, the margin by which they lead could be further. Molyneux, Ironside and Rowe with the goals.
Dons need to scale a mountain in the second-half to get anything from this.
The curse of Doncaster continues...
