Jack Payne on scoresheet as MK Dons heap more woe on Forest Green
Posted Sunday, December 17, 2023 by PA
MK Dons stretched their unbeaten league run to six matches with a 2-0 win over struggling Forest Green.
Max Dean put the Dons in front and Jack Payne extended the advantage as the hosts won the clash between two teams who were relegated last season.
Rovers had failed to win any of their previous four Sky Bet League Two games and nearly fell behind early on when Payne’s free-kick narrowly cleared the bar.
The hosts then opened the scoring as Dean controlled Joe Tomlinson’s cut-back, evaded a defender and fired a shot across Luke Daniels into the bottom corner.
Conor Grant fired wide when well placed but the Dons doubled their lead when Tomlinson’s cross picked out Payne, who hit a firm strike into the back of the net.
Troy Deeney and substitute Matty Stevens missed the target with chances either side of the break and Deeney saw another late effort cleared off the line as the visitors failed to score for the third league game in a row.
