Leading at the CopperJax Community Stadium through Rushian Hepburn-Murphy’s early fourth goal of the season five minutes in, Dons suffered a blow when Craig MacGillivray needed to be taken to hospital after a clash of heads just 20 minutes in.
Bromley continued to shell MK Dons’ penalty area well into the second-half, eventually breaking their resolve with 17 minutes to go through Deji Elewere, before Omar Sowunmi headed home the winner seven minutes later.
In a game described as ‘horrific’ by Dons boss Paul Warne, here’s how we rated the players.

10. Top Don: Nathaniel Mendez-Laing - 7
Dons' biggest attacking threat when he was given the opportunity to stretch his legs. His cross set up the opener, and he came closest to adding the second too with a shot saved | Jane Russell
11. Rushian Hepburn-Murphy - 6
Took his early goal well, always looked to make runs and get involved but got little service. | Jane Russell
12. Sub: Connal Trueman - 5.5
Barely had a save to make, but looked unsure at some crosses and was ultimately beaten twice late on | Jane Russell
