Carlton Morris played roughly 120 minutes for Milton Keynes Dons last week, with his late assist rescuing a first point of the season on the weekend.
The City loanee came on in the 61st minute of Tuesday night’s EFL Trophy game against Northampton Town with the scores level at 1-1. MK Dons went on to win 3-1 to go to the top of Group K.
Four days later, Morris played the full 90 as Russell Martin’s side found themselves trailing to Doncaster Rovers at Keepmoat Stadium. But the visitors weren’t switching off, as Baily Cargill played a neat one-two with Morris before finding the back of the net for 1-1 in the 88th minute.
The draw put MK Dons perfectly mid-table, 12th in League One.

Morris wasn’t the only City loanee to notch an assist last week. Norwich City Academy product Jordan Thomas also provided for Leyton Orient in their 3-2 win at home to Brighton & Hove Albion Under-21s in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday.
Thomas, on his debut, put a cross in for Danny Johnson to give Leyton Orient a 2-0 lead in the 55th minute. They’re now top of Group O in the competition after securing the win.
👏 Another @Johnson11Danny beauty!
