MK Dons made it back-to-back home wins as they edged a 2-1 League Two victory over Gillingham at Stadium MK.
A cagey game saw MJ Williams find a breakthrough after 79 minutes before Alex Gilbey thumped in a second.
Gills debutant Josh Walker pulled one back late on but it was not enough to avert a first league loss in five.
MK Dons dominated possession in the early stages but struggled to create chances, with the best seeing Gillingham's Oliver Hawkins denied by home goalkeeper Filip Marschall.
Away goalkeeper Jake Turner denied the Dons' Dan Kemp less than 20 seconds into the second half.
