Hard fought victory at Saltergate edges Ince's men to top
MK Dons returned to the top of League Two with a hard-fought win over fellow promotion contenders Chesterfield at Saltergate.
The 2-1 victory nudges Paul Ince's side above Peterborough and improves an already remarkable away record that has seen them pick up 14 wins from 19 attempts.
At the hub of much of Dons' best work was their inspirational captain Keith Andrews, who on his return from suspension, scored the game's first goal and later set up the winner for Lloyd Dyer.
An evenly fought first period was punctuated with a goal three minutes before the break when Andrews stole in at the far post to convert from close range a right wing delivery.
Chesterfield's response in drawing level will have pleased Spireites boss Lee Richardson as Jamie Lowry restored parity in the 69th minute with a drive from the edge of the box, which looked to have taken a nick off Andrews before beating Willy Gueret.
Richardson's joy proved short-lived though, for less than a minute later, they were behind as Dyer netted a classy winner.
Andrews' clever slide-rule pass played in the in-form forward and after exchanging passes with substitute Aaron Wilbraham, he curled in a sumptuous winner.
