Forest Green Rovers vs MK Dons - LIVE

FULL TIME: Forest Green 0-2 MK Dons

Dons are up into the play-off spots as it stands with a 2-0 win over Forest Green.

That goal from Gilbey early in the second-half was enough to secure the win. Forest Green did not have a lot left in the tank after that.

Forest Green threatened to break over half-way with Dons committed forwards, but Tezgel takes the man down to go into the book

Five minutes to be added on

89 mins: Last change for Dons

Dan Kemp will come on at the death here for Alex Gilbey

More changes for FGR too, with Osadebe being replaced by Bunker, and Doidge is off for Omotoye

86 mins: Gilbey should score

After Tezgel refuses to take a shot, rather taking a few touches instead, Lofthouse barges his way to the byline, crosses for Gilbey but somehow, from close range, puts it well over the bar

79 mins: Rovers with three subs

McAlister, McCann and Thompson make way for Jacob Maddox, Fankaty Dabo and Callum Jones

75 mins: Lofthouse on a run

Brilliant dance across the penalty area from Lofthouse, picks out Harvie who sees his cross cut out for a corner, which Gilbey over-hits

74 mins: Another double sub

Wearne and Payne come off, Tezgel and Robson replacing them

71 mins: Still bubbling

Wow, Osadebe and Keogh need to be separated again as the former Dons defender takes his team-mate to task. They’re really not happy with each other at the moment

69 mins: Dons make changes

Tucker and Dean come off with 21 minutes to go, replaced by Norman and Harrison

67 mins: Dean ambitious

The striker fancied his chances from fully 25 yards, hitting a volley on the turn but seeing it sail just over.

Meanwhile Keogh and Osadebe have some angry words amongst themselves

61 mins: League Two being shaken up

Not a lot happening here, Dons controlling it.

But elsewhere, Wrexham are losing... Mansfield are getting hammered and as it stands, Dons are sat in second!

51 mins: GOAL! Gilbey makes it 2-0

Brilliant from Lofthouse, skips past the challenge of Jamie Robson, he pulls it back for the on-rushing Gilbey who has the simple finish to put it into the bottom corner!

49 mins: Dean tries to counter

Osadebe barrels his way into the box and his crosses causes issues but Payne swipes it well clear, Dean gambles and beats Keogh to it, has Wearne up with him but Dean gets his angles wrong and fires wide

47 mins: Gilbey's shot

Decent effort from the Dons midfielder, not wearing the armband this afternoon, forcing Reyes into a decent save to his right

Back underway here at the New Lawn

Don’t get too far ahead of yourselves... but...

HALF TIME: Forest Green 0-1 MK Dons

Max Dean made his debut at this ground last year, this year, he’s scoring the opening goal.

It was a gift and came a little against the run of play, but Dons are ahead at the interval.
