Newport County were condemned to their 12th away defeat of the season as they were beaten 1-0 at promotion-chasing MK Dons to leave the threat of relegation looming even larger with just 15 games remaining. The win extended MK Dons' unbeaten league run to seven matches, while Newport's winless streak stretched to five. County introduced Harrison Biggins and Nathaniel Opoku at half-time, but the pattern of the match barely shifted, and MK Dons soon had a golden chance to double their lead. Newport finally mustered their first touches inside the MK Dons penalty area in the 70th minute, when Biggins fired over from Anthony Glennon's cross. Victory for MK Dons strengthens their impressive record at Stadium MK, where they have now collected 31 points from 16 home matches.
