MK Dons vs Morecambe - LIVE

Huge three points for MK Dons!

Lawrence is beaten by Dakcers, is then downed by the defender

This game isn’t done yet, a good cross into Dons’ box is headed over the top by Slew

Four minutes to be added on

88 mins: Morecambe sub

Cooke off, Dallas on

87 mins: O'Reilly again

Patient move from Dons, Waller lofts it towards Kelly, who in turn finds O’Reilly, his effort deflected wide for a corner

82 mins: Morecambe sub

Ged Garner is replaced by Marcus Dackers.

Dons make a couple more swaps too: Hogan replaces Orsi, and Crowley replaced by Kelly

Great work from Gilbey to win the ball and keep possession, Dons work it well for O’Reilly to hit it first time, and it’s a shade wide

Maguire makes way for Waller. Great response after being missing since Boxing Day.

Joe White also comes off, replaced by Tommi O’Reilly.

72 mins: What a chance

Garner should score, Maguire has just nicked it away from him barely two yards out.

71 mins: Subs or both sides

Dons replace Lemonheigh-Evans with Jay Williams

Triple sub for Morecambe: Taylor, Edwards and Angol all come off, Slew, Rhys Williams and Tollitt come on

Somehow Nico Lawrence is not wheeling off celebrating, his header took all the power off the cross and it’s easy for Burgoyne to gather.

We’ll see Jay Williams introduced shortly as he stalks the sidelines

65 mins: GOAL! Dons lead!

Great from White to get it to Gilbey, he takes aim left-footed and Burgoyne does well to save it but the rebound balls for Orsi to hook it in!

Dons lead!

Attendance: 5,718 (115)

63 mins: Dons looking much better

The game is predominantly being played in the Morecambe half, Dons are looking a bit more incisive and positive but as yet, not a lot to really trouble Burgoyne in the net

55 mins: Side netting

It looked like the chance had gone when Offord opted to go backwards, but Dons recycle and Joe White is able to pick it up, swap passes with Orsi before firing into the side netting

Awful ball from Tomlinson gives it away, Lemonheigh-Evans scythes down Cooke and goes into the book

MK Dons restart the game

HALF TIME: MK Dons 1-1 Morecambe

Good response from the hosts after going a goal behind from the spot, the fourth penalty in eight games.
