Despite the overriding sense of disappointment from the MK Dons camp following their 1-1 draw with Burton Albion on Saturday, Russell Martin praised the two men involved in their equaliser.

Carlton Morris was fouled by Ciaran Gilligan with 16 minutes to go, allowing Scott Fraser to fire home his sixth goal of the season from the spot to snag a point after a poor first half.

Martin lauded the duo afterwards, saying of Fraser: "He was really good in the second half in particular. He had a player tight to him every time he got the ball. A lot of them played with him, so they know his threat.

"It was difficult to get him space to hurt them but when it matters, he has so much quality. You always fancy him from the spot, so I was pleased he got the goal."

On Morris, Martin continued: "He has been outstanding. At times, he looks like he's carrying the team. He's a top performer at this level, but it has been frustrating for him, a bit up and down.

"When he really plays, he's outstanding and he works so hard for the team, I think that's why he doesn't get as many goals as he would like or he should, but he has been great for us."
