Here’s how we rated the players.
1. How we rated the MK Dons players against Crewe Alexandra
It was not a vintage performance but an effective one at Stadium mK | Jane Russell
2. Craig MacGillivray - 6.5
Didn't have a vast amount to do, made a good first-half save and came for a lot of crosses. Will be cursing himself for the corner at the death though which he flapped at as Crewe scored | Jane Russell
3. Jack Sanders - 6.5
A solid enough return to the action after six weeks out. | Jane Russell
4. Marvin Ekpiteta - 7
Had a first-half strike deflected just over, before turning provider for Collar to score the opener. Had his hands full with Tezgel | Jane Russell
