Dons sacked boss Dan Micciche last week after a disastrous season in League One.

He was replaced by caretaker manager Keith Millen for today’s match.

They went behind when Rory McArdle headed in a Hakeeb Adelakun cross on 20 minutes.

Ivan Toney then doubled the visiting side’s lead with a headed effort of his own, ten minutes before the break.
