Three goals in the first 29 minutes put Grimsby in total control before Jon Mellish’s red card nine minutes from the break put the game almost out of reach.
A George McEachran own goal early in the second-half gave Dons a glimmer of hope before Connor Lemonheigh-Evans’ strike in the 90th minute set up a thrilling finale but it was too little too late.
Here’s how we rated the players at Stadium MK.
