MK Dons 0-0 Brighton

Alex Rae and Diego Arismendi were sent off for brawling as MK Dons' winless run reached 10 games.

The Dons were unlucky not to take the lead when Luke Chadwick's dipping half-volley hit the bar and then Charlie Collins curled a shot onto the post.

Dons player-coach Rae and Brighton's Arismendi saw red at the end of the first half when they traded blows after the latter's penalty appeal failed.

Brighton took charge in the second half, but the hosts held on.


MK Dons assistant manager Karl Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"Over the last three or four weeks the players have been magnificent in the way they have conducted themselves.

"The pleasing thing for me today was the professionalism and the way they went about the job.

"We have come here and made it hard for them with a team with an average age of 21. They were magnificent."

Brighton boss Poyet, on the red card for Diego Arismendi, told BBC Sussex:

"There is nothing to send any player off apart from two players trying to get away from each other.

"There's no punch, push, elbow or headbutt - there's absolutely nothing in there and I feel really sorry for Diego because he doesn't deserve that.

"He was trying to keep playing games and now he's got a red card.

"He was completely devastated in the dressing room. When you watch the video then it's a little bit hard to take. I thought they were able to see it."
