Fleetwood made it three wins in five League Two matches under new boss Pete Wild with a 2-1 victory at home to MK Dons.

The Cod Army had the measure of their fellow mid-table opponents from early on and went in front just after the half-hour mark thanks to a sweet strike from Ryan Broom.

The former Cheltenham winger reacted first after Phoenix Patterson’s free-kick was headed away to hit a fizzing drive that took a slight deflection on its way past Craig MacGillivray.

For all the away side’s neat and intricate passing play that largely constituted in neat link-ups between Dan Crowley and Aaron Nemane, they failed to threaten in front of goal during the opening period with Scott Hogan wasting their only clear-cut opening when he could only fire a weak effort straight at Jay Lynch after being put through one on one.

Wild’s team extended their lead with just over 20 minutes of normal time remaining thanks to a header from defender Shaun Rooney, who rose highest to nod in a Patterson corner to net his first goal since returning to the club from St Mirren.

The Dons did hit back through substitute Tommi O’Reilly’s low strike from outside the area but Fleetwood held on.
