MK Dons 1-1 Grimsby Town - Eisa misses a sitter at the death

A bit of purpose at last for MK Dons and they are level!

Jack Payne pops up in the right place, eight yards out to convert Alex Gilbey's cross!

It's 1-1

Gnahoua's strike looks like it takes a couple of deflections on it's way towards goal, pinging off the base of the post

Conor Grant makes way for Jonathan Leko as Dons look to get more of an attacking threat

Good move sparked by Williams in the centre, Dean races on, Gilbey finds Tomlinson whose cross picks out Dean, but the striker tries to steer it rather than bring it under control and it's harmlessly wide.

The visitors have taken the pace right out of the game after starting the second-half on the back foot somewhat.

Arthur Gnahoua though heads a cross harmlessly over the bar

Penalty appeals for a shove on Conor Grant, but it would have been really soft if given. Anyway the ball plays on, Harvie shapes to shoot with his right, cuts back onto his left and bends it just wide

They might not look much better, but Dons look a little more alive at the start of this season half.

A couple of times Tomlinson has gotten into space on the right but hasn't taken on his man, opting to cut inside to no avail

Dons restart the game, trailing as they are 1-0

A look around the grounds at the break

For the first time, I'd say, Mike Williamson's Dons go in at the break behind and deservedly so.

Nothing really sticking in the final third, and they look leggy and second-best all over the pitch.

Pyke's goal the difference between the sides
