MK Dons 4-1 Notts County


Joe Jones

Notts find themselves ever closer to the League One drop zone after capitulating in the second half at the hands of the MK Dons in a 4-1 thrashing.

The first concrete chance of the game came in the tenth minute when Carl Baker swept an effort just wide of the post.

Ben Reeves had a shot blocked and Roy Carroll was forced into several smart saves by efforts from Lewis Baker and Daniel Powell.

Devante Cole was then sent clean through on 20 minutes but his shot went wide, before Ben Reeves forced another great save from Carroll.

The Dons were unable to break the deadlock in the first half, but just after the hours they eventually opened the scoring when Carl Baker collected Reeves's pass before smashing home.

Notts conceded again in the 75th minute as Lewis Baker scored with a cheeky lob, but the deficit was halved six minutes later when substitute Jimmy Spencer forced a save from David Martin that was spilled out to Elliott Whitehouse, who tapped home to make it 2-1.

The hosts regained their two-goal cushion with seven minutes remaining when Dean Bowditch reached the byline before lashing a cutback towards Grigg, who poked home to kill off the game.

Grigg then added a fourth in stoppage time to compound Notts's misery and leave them with a lot of work to do if they are to survive the drop.
