Reeves (11) made no mistake with the resulting spot kick, sending Blackburn ‘keeper Steele the wrong way to, amazingly, give MK Dons the lead in a league game for the first time in almost two-month!
The best hope of a Blackburn way back into the game came from Rhodes but his volley was kept out by MK Dons ‘keeper Martin who made a fine save in the second half, had that gone in things might have been different?
With 20-minutes to play Church (71) headed home from a close range, with Murphy again involved with him providing the cross, to make it two.
A last minute goal from Reeves (89), in a move that also involved Baker, former Rovers trialist Maynard and Brighton loan Forster-Caskey, wrapped up a first win for MK Dons since August and a biggest win in their Championship history, which granted only stretches this season!
