Live blog: MK Dons v Wigan Athletic

All the action from Stadium MK...

Up the ‘Tics!

TEAM NEWS

FT MK Dons 1 Latics 1.

So close to a massive three points, but a better result for Latics than MK.

Not sure who’s picking up Harry Darling but it’s a free header from six yards, bang in the middle of goal. 1-1.

Equaliser MK, free header from a corner.

Latics subs, Gwion Edwards and Josh Magennis for Gavin Massey and Stephen Humphrys. Six minutes to go.

MK Dons players doing a LOT of falling over under no contact, fans getting on the back of the official, who has been strong since Latics scored. Needs to say that way.

HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT?

Tom Pearce strike from distance, deflects into the path of Tom Naylor, the whole defence has come out and left him...controls and slots under the goalie. Flag stays down.

Goal 1-0 Latics, Tom Naylor!!!

Pearce cross, flicked on by Keane, Tilt is unmarked but can’t take it down, would have had a free shot on goal, too.

Max Power shot from distance, deflects just past the post.

MK Dons cut through the Latics defence and Mo Eisa is through, but Gavin Massey comes across and steals the ball, superb covering.

Second half under way...

HT MK Dons 0 Latics 0.Not been the most entertaining game, two good teams showing each other a lot of respect, Latics will be the happier if it stays this way.

What a chance for Latics...wonderful vision from Humphrys to find Lang, but he can’t control and the ball rolls through to the goalie. Bad few minutes for him.

10th booking of the season for Callum Lang...that’s him out of Crewe on Tuesday and Morecambe next weekend. Annoyingly, the Morecambe game was the cut-off.

Power whips in a free-kick and it’s inches in front of the lunging Curtis Tilt and Will Keane.

First shooting opportunity of the game, to Mo Eisa of MK, and it’s a fantastic block from Jason Kerr to repel the danger.

Midway through the first half and not a lot’s happening. Both sides playing with caution, as you’d expect with the stakes so high.
