Two goals from Aboubakar Kamara did the damage for the home side who controlled the game throughout.

MK Dons 1 City 0

Exeter City fell to their first defeat of the season as a Kieran Agard penalty saw MK Dons record a 1-0 victory.

The Grecians, backed by a large away following had their chances in both halves, but were reduced to 10 men when Dean Moxey was shown a second yellow card for handball in the box. And, although Agard’s first penalty was saved, his second spot kick – when Stockley handled in the area – was converted.
