Saturday 18 March 2023 18:37, UK
MK Dons moved out of the League One relegation places with a 1-0 win over Accrington, who dropped into the bottom four.
Sullay Kaikai scored the only goal of the game to earn the visitors a second successive win that moved them a point above their opponents.
The Dons started strongly and had a Jack Tucker header cleared off the line before they opened the scoring after eight minutes.
A one-two between Conor Grant and Kaikai ended with the latter beating two players and squeezing the ball home from a tight angle for his second goal of the campaign.
The visitors continued to force the pace, Paris Maghoma firing straight at Toby Savin and Mohamed Eisa's effort deflected off-target before the break.
