Sullay Kaikai’s second goal for the club, coming after eight minutes, as enough to separate the sides as Dons kept another clean sheet en route to victory.
It was a win which lifted Mark Jackson’s side to 20th in the standings, leapfrogging Stanley who slipped into the bottom four as a result.
Dons take on Morecambe, who sit 22nd, at Stadium MK next Saturday as they look to make it three wins in a row.
Here’s how we rated the players in the win over Accrington.
5. Top Don: Sullay Kaikai - 8
His goal capped a brilliant game, playing in a position unfamiliar (to Dons fans at least). Played a massive part at both ends of the pitch before running himself into the ground towards the end. Will be a big miss next week when away on international duty Photo: Jane Russell
6. Paris Maghoma - 7
Threw himself into the defensive mix in the second-half especially Photo: Jane Russell
7. Josh McEachran - 7.5
Gave Dons the control they needed to run the first-half. Ran out of steam in the second-half but provided an important head in the engine room Photo: Pete Norton
8. Conor Grant - 6.5
A pretty quiet afternoon for the Irishman, didn't see a lot of the ball, but what he did with it was important and worked. Delayed and delayed and delayed to set up Kaikai for the goal Photo: David Rogers
