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.

31 mins: Nemane over

Another good move, Nemane comes onto the end of it but fires over the bar

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

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

Joe Tomlinson sends Moore the wrong way - 1-0!

Gilbey races onto Nemane’s ball, he knocks it past Stuart Moore, and is clattered by the keeper!

Penalty kick!

Joe White gets the game underway for MK Dons
