MK Dons 1-0 Morecambe: Jonathan Leko steers MK to narrow win
Saturday 25 March 2023 17:20, UK
MK Dons eased themselves four points clear of the Sky Bet League One relegation zone thanks to a crucial 1-0 win against drop rivals Morecambe.
A smart second-half finish from Jonathan Leko proved the difference as the Dons notched a third straight victory.
The hosts enjoyed much the better of the first half, but could not find a breakthrough.
Leko saw an early effort saved by Connor Ripley. Mohamed Eisa was then thwarted by Ripley after he had found space in the Morecambe box.
Dan Crowley went close for the visitors, but the Dons were unlucky again when Leko's strike took a deflection before being comfortably saved by Ripley.
