Half-Time Report: Brentford lead MK Dons at Stadium MK

Brentford lead at the break in their League One clash with MK Dons thanks to a goal from James Tarkowski.

The visitors started the game on the front foot and Adam Forshaw found room for an effort at goal from 25 yards out, but David Martin was on hand to make a good save.

MK Dons hit back and almost took the lead when Izale McLeod raided down the left flank and cut the ball back for Daniel Powell, but his shot went wide of the target.

Brentford were causing problems going forward and nearly when ahead when Jake Bidwell beat George Baldock, but his shot was beaten away by Martin.

The home side were handed an excellent chance to take the lead when Matthew Kennedy released McLeod, but the striker could only fire his effort straight at David Button, who made the save.

The visitors took the lead right on half time when Martin came for Alan Judge's corner and dropped the ball right at the feet of Tarkowski, who slotted the ball home.
