Late Collins Strike Seals 2-1 Comeback Win for MK Dons at Swindon
Milton Keynes Dons staged a second-half turnaround to claim a vital 2-1 away victory over Swindon Town at the County Ground. Despite Swindon edging possession and creating more chances, it was the Dons who showed greater clinical edge, with Aaron Collins netting a decisive late winner in the 79th minute. The hosts had taken the lead early in the second half through a well-worked move finished by Darren Oldaker, but MK Dons responded with goals from Ben Wiles and Collins to snatch all three points. Swindon started brightly, controlling 54% of the ball and registering 12 shots, but struggled to convert their opportunities. MK Dons, meanwhile, weathered the early storm and struck first through Wiles in the 36th minute. After Oldaker’s equalizer, the visitors grew into the game, and Collins' composed finish settled the contest. Both sides saw yellow cards in a physical encounter, but the Dons’ resilience and tactical tweaks proved decisive.
