MK Dons 4 - 3 Blackpool

Easter scored twice as MK Dons made it to round three

An extra-time goal from Lewis Guy gave MK Dons victory over Blackpool in a superb Carling Cup second-round tie.

Sam Baldock fired the Dons ahead from long range in the first minute, with Brett Ormerod levelling on the hour.

Jermaine Easter hit two goals in two minutes shortly after to put the Dons in charge but Ludovic Sylvestre reduced arrears a minute later.

Charlie Adam's penalty sent the game to extra time where substitute Guy struck the decisive blow with 10 minutes left.

It was a fittingly dramatic conclusion to a hugely entertaining game in which the home side had never been behind but were continually pegged back by their spirited Premier League opponents.

It was a much-altered Seasiders side from the one that lost 6-0 at Arsenal on Saturday, with manager Ian Holloway making 10 changes.

606: DEBATE

Wahoo, just got in from work and heard the last 5 minutes, magic result

KentMKDon

Holloway himself was not present to see his second string battle hard but ultimately fail against League One MK Dons - with the Blackpool club website stating he was watching a possible transfer target at another match.

Assistant boss Steve Thompson, taking charge in Holloway's absence, had barely taken his seat in the dugout when Baldock collected a Sean O'Hanlon pass and scored from 18 yards after just 53 seconds.

After being second-best for much of the first half, Blackpool thought they were level five minutes into the second when Ormerod tapped in after Ishmel Demontagnac had hit the post, but it was ruled out for offside.

However, two minutes later Ormerod did restore parity, heading in a Neil Eardley cross.

That goal was the first of four in an amazing six-minute period, that firstly saw Easter bag a brace via two neat finishes to seemingly give the Dons control before Sylvestre's free-kick to the far post was allowed to go straight in to once again give Blackpool a foothold.

With eight minutes remaining, a melee in the box saw a penalty awarded to Blackpool, which substitute Adad tucked away to level matters.

Ormerod had another effort disallowed for offside and Demontagnac also hit the post as the game went into extra-time.

With ten minutes to go, Guy - on for Dietmar Hamann - netted from inside the area following good work from Easter and the home side were able to hold on despite late Blackpool pressure.
