They've had a few appeals but the Dons finally have their penalty now.

Liam Kelly makes up for his poor shot at goal by threading through a clever ball up to Joe Tomlinson, drawing Cods keeper Jay Lynch from his line to trip up the Dons defender and give away the spot kick.

Blackpool started the brighter of the two sides but it's Reading who are on top now. Goals change games and that's certainly the case here.

MK Dons once again have a promising free-kick and it's hard to know which side is messier.

Fleetwood cannot get contact on the ball, slowly reacting to fail to clear it but MK Dons aren't sharp enough to net it either before the Cods finally get it out of danger.

The visitors looking vulnerable right now though.

Luca Connell has gone into the book for Barnsley after bringing down Owen Moxon.

Kamari Doyle almost makes it two! He drives forward, cuts on to his right foot and curls narrowly over the bar for Reading!

A better MK Dons chance comes from Callum Paterson on the left, who tries to get the better of his tight angle by nestling it into the net.

He ripples the netting alright but unfortunately for him, the outside of it.

Liam Kelly is desperate for a goal. The last time he scored was October... 2024.

He tries his luck from distance but it's sliced wide. Valley wide.

Blackpool defender Ollie Casey is spun by Randell Williams midway inside his own half and then pulls him back.

Cynical. Into the book Casey goes.

After taking that free-kick, Josh Hawkes looks to have tweaking something and he cannot continue. Blow for Oldham.

Around 25 minutes in, Hawkes has to be replaced by Kane Drummond, who has yet to open his league account for the Latics so far this season.

Barnsley's top goalscorer Davis Keillor-Dunn has already netted eight times this season and he's trying to add another...

He does well to win the ball high up the pitch but his shot is deflected behind and the Tykes are unable to make anything of the resulting corner.

After returning to the side, Accrington defender Farrend Rawson is shown the game's first yellow card for hauling down Oldham's Joe Quigley.

From the resulting free-kick, Josh Hawkes bends his effort from 25 yards just over the Accrington crossbar. That had Stanley's keeper Ollie Wright worried for a moment.

Fleetwood carve out their best opportunity of the day and Matty Virtue only has to sneak the ball past the MK Dons defender into Ethan Ennis' feet in the box but the angle of his pass is aimed at the wrong man.

The Cods retake possession and try their luck from distance instead but Lewis McCann's shot is straight into the arms of the home stopper.

Stockport have struggled for goals in recent weeks, failing to score against either Luton or Peterborough in their past two games.

Fans have pointed to the fact Oliver Norwood has been missing with injury for the slight downturn in form.

County have created a few chances in the opening stages today, though. Just haven't been able to put them away.

Accrington get forward down the left wing but after cutting inside on his favoured right foot well, Stanley captain Shaun Whalley's cross into the box is poorly over hit and goes out for a goal kick.

That was a wasted opportunity for the hosts.

Ashley Fletcher meets a cross in from the right by Andy Lyons for Blackpool and sends a looping header towards goal but it's fairly comfortable for Reading keeper Joel Pereira.

Reading are yet to have a shot at the other end.

Blackpool should be one up.

Ashley Fletcher drifts in behind and does well to hold off the challenge of Paudie O'Connor.

He lays it off for the onrushing Hayden Coulson, but he's unable to hit the target, firing narrowly over the top from no more than 12 yards out.

MK Dons have a free-kick in a promising position and Joe Tomlinson is happy to whip it into the box.

The cross looks good but no home player is there to nod it into the net.

Prevented by the Cods by nefarious means? Alex Gilbey thinks so as he requests a penalty from the referee but despite his pleas, they fall on deaf ears.
