Joel Colwill had hit the bar and Yousef Salech wasted a headed opportunity as the Welshmen always looked the more likely to break the deadlock. Stevenage found chances hard to create throughout the night so when their backline was breached after 441 goalless minutes they had little to offer in terms of a response.

FT: Notts County 3-2 MK Dons Mark Stallard Former Notts County striker on BBC Radio Nottingham The second half was a scruffy, scrappy half of football.

Tom Iorpenda (88 mins) Late drama at Meadow Lane as Notts County take the lead. Craig Mac Gillivray spills Jodi Jones' cross, a shot is cleared off the line but it falls to Tom Iorpenda who makes no mistake. Any more twists?

MK Dons have another opportunity but Aaron Collins fires over from six yards after a good run. All Dons at the moment.

One more goal for the Imps would move them up to second place in League One. Last Updated 9th December 2025 at 21: 55 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
