Hartlepool   0 - 5   MK Dons

Hartlepool 0-5 MK Dons

Hartlepool suffered their biggest home defeat since May 1994 as visitors MK Dons struck five goals without reply.

The visitors took the lead after four minutes when Jermaine Easter broke the offside trap and slotted in.

A Gary Liddle own-goal doubled their lead seven minutes later and Peter Leven added a third after the break.

Substitute Sam Baldock chipped in the Dons' fourth with practically his first touch before Jason Puncheon's low drive completed the rout.

Karl Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"That's been something that has been brewing over the last two months. Today was an exceptional performance.

"This is a place where teams don't like to come and play. They don't concede many goals here and they don't lose many games.

"We walked off and there were 100 of their fans clapping us off. They said it was the best performance they had seen at this ground."
