MK DONS 3 Reeves (11 pen, 89), Church (71) BLACKBURN 0

TWO goals from Ben Reeves and another by Simon Church helped MK Dons record a first win in eight league matches.

They always looked in charge after Blackburn’s Adam Henley was sent off in the ninth minute for bringing down Josh Murphy, with Reeves opening the scoring from the spot.

Dons manager Karl Robinson said: ‘We were under no illusions about how difficult this was going to be, and I think my players conducted themselves really well from the first minute to the last.’
