Josh Woods pulled a goal back for the visitors, but the result went against the visitors, who lost for the first time in four League Two games.

MK Dons scored in the opening minute. A rushed defensive pass was intercepted by Gilbey, who duly beat Billy Crellin.

The visitors had chances in the first half, as Tom McGill denied Shaun Whalley’s free-kick and Darra Costelloe fired wide.

The Dons extended their lead two minutes before the hour. A cross was cleared to Tomlinson, who duly placed a 25-yard strike into the back of the net.

Substitute Woods pulled a goal back for the visitors a few minutes later as he turned in Tyler Walton’s cross.
