MK Dons picked up their first win under Scott Lindsey and their first away win of the season by beating Harrogate 5-1.

Tommy Leigh put the visitors in front before goals by Joe White and Alex Gilbey in first half stoppage time extended their advantage.

Luke Offord sliced the ball into his own net got an own goal, which had provided Harrogate with brief hope of a comeback.

But that hope for Harrogate was extinguished when Connor Lemonheigh-Evans and Sonny Finch added late fourth and fifth goals as MK Dons made sure of the points.

Victory was the first away success for MK Dons since April, when they also scored five against Harrogate in North Yorkshire.

It was also the Dons’ first win under Lindsey, who began his tenure as the MK Dons Head Coach with a draw away at Bromley on Saturday.

Success helped lift MK Dons up a few places in the League Two table. They rise up to 14th position, and they are 4 points off the playoffs after the first nine games of the new season.
