Burnley humiliate MK Dons

Burnley thrashed MK Dons to move up to fourth in the Championship and increase the Dons' relegation worries.

Joey Barton slotted the Clarets ahead, before Sam Vokes doubled the lead 28 seconds after the restart.

Andre Gray headed a third before Matthew Lowton rifled into the top corner.

Antony Kay was then sent off for hauling down George Boyd, who duly completed the rout after a flowing counter-attack.

The Dons had started the game brightly, with Rob Hall curling an effort just over after being played in by Ben Reeves.

But the game turned when Dean Potter was robbed by Barton and the midfielder advanced into the area and beat David Martin for his first Burnley goal.

And the hosts' hopes of getting back into the game in the second half were immediately wrecked when Welsh international Vokes broke away and ran clear before sliding the ball into the corner of the net.

Gray added his fifth goal in five games before Lowton and Boyd compounded the Dons' misery.

It was a first win in six away games for Sean Dyche's side, who remain the only Championship side yet to drop a point from leading positions this season.
