MK Dons vs Doncaster Rovers - LIVE

FULL TIME: MK Dons 1-1 Doncaster Rovers

Big header over the bar by Jay McGrath at the end there as both sides hit the deck at full-time.

Sendings off played a big role in this, obviously, but while Clifton’s in the first game Dons the incentive, Harrison’s rash challenge in the second afforded Rovers a way back into it.

Try as they might at the end, Dons could not hold on and have to settle for a point

Cross flicked behind by White. Clipped towards Anderson again, but he can’t control his header and Yeboah’s heavy touch puts it behind

93 mins: Gilbey booked

Heavy challenge from Gilbey on Patrick Kelly, into the book

Five mins to be added on

89 mins: Molyneux goes down

Ilunga is a lucky boy there as he nearly fouls Molyneux in the box but judt gets enough on it to clear the lines.

Molyneux now comes off, replaced by Patrick Kelly

84 mins: Gilbey hits wide

Gilbey grabs the game by the scruff there, driving forward and taking aim but his shot is always arrowing wide

83 mins: GOAL - Doncaster equalise

Big header from Tom Anderson as he gets in front of MJ Williams to nod home Doncaster’s corner

It’s 1-1

79 mins: White comes on

Joe White to come on here, replacing Connor Lemonheigh-Evans

So close to an excellent counter-attack, Finch had Gilbey with him as they shaped to escape trouble, but a brilliant tackle denies them

68 mins: McGill spills...

Ooooh lucky boy Tom McGill, he spills the strike from range but Joe Ironside is offside.

Brooklyn Ilunga makes his first league appearance since last August, replacing Aaron Nemane

Joe Sbarra replaces Ben Close

66 mins: Yeboah into the book

He’s only been on the field a couple of minutes but he’s horse-collared Nemane there and gets a yellow card for it

63 mins: Doncaster sense an equaliser

Since the red card, the visitors have been given a new lease of life, and have turned it up a notch.

They’ve got Dons on the back foot, defending the lead and very restricted to counter attempts built from within their own half

60 mins: Triple change for Doncaster

Sharp, Olowu and Yeboah replace Sterry, Fleming and Gibson

56 mins: Finch comes on

Liam Kelly trudges off as he’s the sacrifice to get a striker on the pitch after Harrison’s red card.

Sonny Finch replaces him

Gilbey gets onto the end of Kelly’s well-weighted pass but keeper Sharman-Lowe gets a boot to it to put it behind

It’s ten men apiece - Ellis Harrison lunges in, high foot on Owen Bailey.

Not many complaints from men in white.

48 mins: Decent attendance

Family Fun Day always brings more people into the ground, and with a good travelling support - 7,838 (1,065)

Back underway at Stadium MK
