MK Dons 2-0 Bristol Rovers: Scott Fraser on target in routine win
Saturday 26 December 2020 18:44, UK
MK Dons picked up three crucial points in their survival fight following a comfortable 2-0 win over relegation rivals Bristol Rovers.
Ben Gladwin smashed home in first-half stoppage time after the Dons dominated the first 45 minutes.
And they deservedly wrapped up the win through Scott Fraser just after the hour mark.
Fraser had a shot saved by Jordi van Stappershoef following a 10th-minute corner as the Dons started well.
Gladwin was inches away after Fraser played him in on 28 minutes, before Fraser and Andrew Surman had more chances.
