MK Dons 2 Swindon 0 

Npower League One

 

RESULT: Milton Keynes Dons 2 Swindon Town 0

 

MK Dons scorers: Doumbe 59, Lowe 89

 

Town's chances of automatic promotion are hanging by a thread after another poor performance on the road.

 

Second-half goals from Mathias Doumbe and Ryan Lowe mean Swindon fall to sixth in League One, and are now crucially eight points from the top two with just four games to go.

 

Manager Kevin MacDonald was the first to admit his team didn't finish the game well, despite Andy Williams having a first-half goal controversially disallowed for pushing.

 

"I didn't see anything wrong with the goal and especially with the referee just five yards away," MacDonald said, "but the second half was disappointing. We just didn't hurt them."

 

"We just don't seem to be creating the clear cut chances we need."
