Image for MK Dons Too Strong After Kelly Red Card

Clinton Morrison was the man who taunted Notts County at Milton Keynes on Saturday, he scored a goal for the home side and set up another as Mk Dons easily beat 10 man County 3-0.

Morrison, Balanta and Powell did the damage for the home side but they were helped by County going down to ten men when Julian Kelly was shown a straight red card early in the game for handling the ball on the line.

There could be no complaints about the ending off, it was well deserved and it made no difference to the score when Williams` penalty was saved by Nelson.

But the joy of the save didn`t last very long as five minutes later the home side took the lead when Morrison lifted the ball over Nelsen who came rushing out.

The home side should have gone further ahead but Williams, Mackenzie and Balanta all missed good chances.

County had a go back after the break, Lee Hughes going the closest when he forced a good save from Martin from a shot on the angle.

But two late goals made absolutely sure of the points for the home side when Morrison tapped in Bowditch’s low cross and then Powell scored a fine solo effort.
