Goals from Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Ben Wiles put Dons in control in the first-half, with plenty of chances to put the game to bed.
But Jon Mellish’s second red card of the season put Dons in trouble in the second-half forcing Dons to play with their backs to the wall against the League Two leaders in the closing stages.
Here’s how we rated the players.
1. How we rated the MK Dons players in the win over Bromley
There were plenty of candidates for man of the match after two very different halves of football at Stadium MK | Jane Russell
2. Top Don: Craig MacGillivray - 8.5
A brilliant performance from the keeper. Knew he would be under a lot of pressure from Bromley's long balls, and confidently came to claim a lot of them. Made two top-drawer saves too to keep his side ahead | Jane Russell
3. Jack Sanders - 8
Another cracking show from the centre-back. Didn't give much of a sniff to Kabamba and put in a serious shift in the final 20 minutes or so | Jane Rssell
4. Marvin Ekpiteta - 8
Looked pretty unflappable under pressure in the latter stages especially | Jane Russell
