Four-star MK Dons ensure they avoid FA Cup upset at Hyde
Posted Saturday, November 04, 2017 by PA
Hyde were denied an FA Cup fairytale after MK Dons romped to a 4-0 win in the first round.
Kick-off was delayed for almost 15 minutes as a flare had burned the plastic pitch at Ewen Fields, but once the action got under way the League One outfit showed their class as Aidan Nesbitt opened up with a fine curling strike in the 14th minute.
The visitors pushed for a second before the break and duly got it when Chuks Aneke sent an inch-perfect free-kick into the top corner.
The second half followed much the same suit for the Northern Premier League Division One North side, playing in the eighth tier of football, featuring at this stage for the first time in 23 years.
Ethan Ebanks-Landell made it three with 22 minutes to play, duly obliging with the demand for professionalism from manager Robbie Neilson pre-match.
And Ed Upson wrapped up the tie, firing in from scintillating work from Aneke in an emphatic performance.
