MK Dons 1-2 Cheltenham Town - LIVE

42 mins: GOAL - Jules nods Dons level

It’s nothing short of what they deserve. Great header from Zak Juke he’s been great so far tonight. Nice free kick for Smith loft into the danger zone and Jules climbs high to nod it home.

Dons are level!

37 mins: Barry with a chance

Ahhhhhh Barry did everything right. Brilliant run, really nice one-two with Kemp, he’s through on goal and opens himself up but sends his effort wide, really should score there. MK Dons’ best chance of the game.

35 mins: Dons on top

Since the goal, Dons have very much been the better side but are yet to really create a chance to really threaten Shaun MacDonald’s goal. Playing some nice stuff in the midfield, Ilunga and Jules also having good and lively games but not much seen of Kayode still who is chasing to no avail.

21 mins: Effort blocked

I think Oyegoke had headed against Kayode there as Smith’s free-kick is nodded back into the mixer by Tucker.

Dons finding their groove now after that early goal put them behind.

13 mins: Kemp comes close

Free kick won by Gyamfi’s mazy fun, and Dan Kemp steps up to take the set piece from 25 yards, but it zips just wide of the upright

8 mins: GOAL - May nets from the spot

Alfie May makes no mistakes from the penalty spot, and sends Ravizzoli the wrong way to give Cheltenham the lead

The visitors have a spot kick - Grant Norton is downed by Dan Oyegoke, but maybe there was a handball in the build-up?

It’s a penalty.

5 mins: A steady start from both sides

Not a lot to say about it so far, all a bit patient and calm so far. Nothing much seen of Kayode in Dons colours yet, half a chance for Kemp but easy for the keeper to deal with

MK Dons get this game underway
