Ten-man MK Dons followed up their League Cup win over Manchester United with victory over Crawley.

Daniel Powell hit the post for the Dons before Dele Alli fired home a rebound after Brian Jensen saved from Powell.

Kyle McFadzean was sent off for the hosts when he brought down Izale McLeod in the box only for McLeod to see his penalty saved by David Martin.

Benik Afobe hit the post with a free-kick before he made the points safe with a neat finish in stoppage time.

MK Dons climbed to third in League One following their third win of the season, while Crawley have now lost their last three in a row.

MK Dons manager Karl Robinson told 91Èȱ¬ Three Counties Radio:

"It was great to see Izale McLeod back here again. We knew it would be a difficult afternoon with him. I thought we rode our luck at times today.

"We did wonderfully well and it's great for the football club."

On Dele Alli: "He's a wonderful talent. We know all the interest and he knows of my desire to keep him at the club."

Crawley Town boss John Gregory told 91Èȱ¬ Surrey:

"We messed up the penalty, which would have got us back to one-each and there would have been only one winner, but it's a recurring theme that I keep talking about each week, about how well we played.

"If it was purely about performances, we would've possibly been already promoted, but it's not about the performance, it's about results.

"We need to sit down and reassess everything, and take a long hard look at everything we do, and everything goes towards our weekly training sessions and we need to make sure that we end on maximum points next weekend."
