Dons delight as Saints slip

MK Dons boss Karl Robinson was beaming after his side ruined Nigel Adkins' first game in charge of Southampton.

Substitute Angelo Balanta's neat 72nd-minute finish and Peter Leven's close-range strike condemned Saints to a 2-0 defeat and maintained the Dons' 100% home record.

Robinson said: "It means a lot to us, that was a very good team we beat there."

He added: "They've got possibly some of the strongest players in this division, if not the Championship, with a fantastic manager in charge.

"It was a big win - it was a very workmanlike performance and it's one we've got to enjoy."
