Wearne, making only his third start for the club, chipped in with an assist for Kemp's third goal since returning to Stadium MK, getting Dons off to a flying start against the Exiles.

Both were integral in the first-half domination which put Graham Coughlan's team to the sword, with all three goals coming inside the opening half-an-hour. According to WhoScored.com, Kemp earned a 8.56 rating, thanks to his goal, and then providing an assist for Jack Payne. Kemp would also see a shot saved in the second-half, and have another goal ruled out for offside.

The pair were joined by three Mansfield Town players, and manager Nigel Clough, after their emphatic 5-1 win over Karl Robinson's Salford City on Saturday.
