Despite there being great chances for Mo Eisa and Ellis Harrison to win the game, the performances of the back-line ensured Walsall were restricted to precious little en route to only their second clean sheet in League Two.
Here’s how we rated the players at the Poundland Bescot Stadium.
5. Top Don: Anthony Stewart - 8.5
The stand-out by far. On a night when Dons' were rarely tested at the back, it was thanks to the on loan Aberdeen man. Won everything near him, from headers to physical challenges and foot-races. Dominant from whistle-to-whistle and his efforts were well-recognised by the travelling Dons supporters Photo: Jane Russell
6. Joe Tomlinson - 6.5
A busy showing but his final ball too often let him down Photo: Jane Russell
7. Cameron Norman - 7
Returning to his former club, and to the side after illness, looked like he hadn't missed a beat. A useful outlet on the right Photo: Jane Russell
8. MJ Williams - 7
Quietly went about his business, winning a lot of ball in the middle of the park. Held his own in the centre, offloading to those around him Photo: Jane Russell
