Morecambe vs MK Dons - LIVE
44 mins: GOAL - Morecambe pull one back
Good run down the Morecambe from Tollitt, he loops a cross up into the area and Jamie Stott barges through a crowd to head in, despite Dons’ appeals for a foul on McGill
41 mins: Over the top
Adam Lewis sends a free-kick well over Tom McGill’s bar after Lemonheigh-Evans thought he was fouled, and just picked it up 30 yards from goal
35 mins: Hogan is the figurehead
The striker is proving to be the hold-up man Dons have needed so far. Everything aimed in his direction he looks able to bring down one way or another, and he can bring the likes of Gilbey, Tomlinson and White into contention.
29 mins: Moore at the double
Two massive saves from Moore to deny both Gilbey and Hogan has kept his side in this as a spectacle. Both though should really have done better, either side of the keeper and it’s 3-0
28 mins: Chance wasted
Great opportunity to make it 3-0 there, Lemonheigh-Evans capitalises on a slip in midfield. He’s got Gilbey and White in support, but doesn’t really choose either and the chance goes begging
22 mins: GOAL! Hogan doubles the lead!
A cracking goal from Scott Hogan to double the lead!
The striker flicks the ball between the legs of defender Rhys Williams, and is through. His first strike though it straight at Moore, who palms it back into his path to poke home Dons’ second!
20 mins: Dons settling
After a spell of not being able to keep the ball, Dons are starting to get themselves into the game now.
Some neat passing moves are starting to move the side up the field
13 mins: Frantic
Despite the lead, it hasn’t been a great opening in terms of performance for MK Dons. They’re giving away cheap fouls too often, and giving up possession far too easily too.
That said, a couple of really clever balls have nearly got Liam Kelly in behind on a couple of occasions, the latest one resulting in a wild shot wide
8 mins: Into the wall
Gilbey with two big blocks, getting in the way of the free-kick and then the follow-up
7 mins: Maguire into the book
Foul right on the edge of the box by Maguire, who goes into the book.
Dangerous free-kick spot for Morecambe here
6 mins: Hogan goes close
Tomlinson involved again, nods down to Gilbey who in turn sends it wide to Hogan who flashes his effort just wide
3 mins: McGill keeps it level
Straight up the other end, Marcus Dackers should equalise for the hosts but Tom McGill does well to keep it out at the near post for a corner.
A shot then comes through a crowd but it’s well over the bar
1 mins: Penalty!
Gilbey races onto Nemane’s ball, he knocks it past Stuart Moore, and is clattered by the keeper!
Penalty kick!
