88th - More attacking play from the Canaries but yet again they can't find a final product.

58th - Cureton comes on for Koroma and Croft replaces Hoolahan.

37th - City free-kick on the right from Fotherignham is cleared and leads to another counter attack. Dons earn a corner. And then another.
34th - Dons lead. captain Keith Andrews found space in the centre laying the ball off to Sam Baldock. He closed Marshall down and chipped the ball over the diving 'keeper. He got a touch but not enough to keep it out.
33rd - Great chance for City. Wes Hoolahan found space in the middle of the park and threaded the ball to OJ Koroma. His first touch was a little bit heavy allowing Gueret to close him down. OJ's shot fired against the big 'keeper and then off himself. Goal-kick MK Dons.
30th - Dons free-kick from Mark Wright swings in from the left but misses everyone landing on the roof of Marshall's net.
26th - City continue to have possession in the Dons' half but there are plenty of white shirts between the Canaries and the MK goal.
17th - Dons' left-back Dean Lewington looks like he will give the City strikers a busy night he seems to be involved in everything at the back.
15th - Shackell makes a great sliding tackle on Baldock in the City area, if he hadn't, Marshall would have been called into action for sure.
13th - Hoolahan has a go from 25-yards but it is easily saved by a diving Gueret.
11th - Koroma shows silky skill down the left wing, cuts inside but is closed down by a wave of white shirts.
