Oxford United 1-0 MK Dons - Back-to-back defeats for MK Dons

With Rotherham losing at Burton this evening, and Wigan coming from behind to draw 2-2 with Ipswich Town, it was a massive chance for Dons to close the gap in the race for the automatic promotion race.

As it stands, Wigan top the table with 88, Rotherham and Dons are level on 83 points, but both the Millers and Latics have three games to go, while Dons only have two.

On a night where none of the title contenders seemingly wanted to take advantage, MK Dons have missed out on the chance to take advantge.

A pretty even game by all accounts, but that mistake at the back has resigned Dons to back-to-back defeats.

We’ll get four minutes added on

It’s a disaster for MK Dons captain Dean Lewington as he plays Josh McEachran a horror pass under pressure, it’s pinched off his toe and it allows substitute Billy Bodin to rifle past Cumming to put Oxford in front

Theo Corbeanu comes on for the final seven mins. Can MK Dons find a breakthrough?

OH Coventry is inches away from giving MK Dons the lead. Kasumu wins it in midfield, KKH is overlapping, he fizzes it across the face but Coventry’s slide is just too shy

First Rotherham, and now Wigan are losing this evening as Ipswich take the lead

Hiram Boateng makes way for David Kasumu. Decent run-out for Boateng, making his first start since January.

Still not a lot in the way of chances here but Oxford look a much more dangerous proposition this half than they did in the first. Gone are the spaces in midfield which McEachran, Coventry and Twine were exploiting in the first 45 minutes.

The upped tempo from the hosts has woken the home supporters up too.
