Crawley Town won this fixture comfortably, running out convincing victors against Milton Keynes Dons on Tuesday evening, though the exact final margin was not confirmed in the available details.
The visitors wasted no time establishing control. Bajrami struck in the opening minute to set the tone, and Crawley pressed their advantage throughout the first half. Jay Williams added a second before the half-hour mark, and goals from Luke Offord and Daniel Crowley inside the final ten minutes of the first period left the home side with a mountain to climb at the interval.
Milton Keynes offered little in response. Their defending was frequently stretched and they created no meaningful threat capable of drawing them back into the contest.
The second half followed a similar pattern. Dion Pereira extended the lead on 66 minutes, and Scott Hogan followed seven minutes later to make it five. Johnny Russell and Ade Adeyemo both scored on 80 minutes, deepening the damage further.
The closing stages brought no respite for the hosts. Lemonheigh-Evans and Joseph Tomlinson made an impact around the 83rd minute, Harry Forster added another shortly afterwards, and Jacob Chapman rounded off the scoring in stoppage time.
By any measure, this was a thorough dismantling. Crawley moved through the gears with little resistance, and MK Dons were left with a result that will demand serious examination from their management ahead of the weekend.
