Milton Keynes Dons have been promoted to League One after a 3-0 win over Tranmere at Stadium MK. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Alex Gilbey, and Callum Paterson scored the goals as the Dons grabbed the win needed to confirm their promotion. The hosts took the lead after 18 minutes, with Mendez-Laing thumping a first-time strike past Tranmere goalkeeper Marko Marosi. Tranmere nearly equalised when Kaiyne Woolery missed from close range, before MK Dons extended their advantage three minutes after opening the scoring. Captain Gilbey collected Mendez-Laing's pass and curled a strike into the bottom corner. Tranmere substitute Kristian Dennis had a goal disallowed for offside just after half-time and he had another strike denied by Craig MacGillivray. But the hosts completed the scoring after 77 minutes when Paterson glanced in Liam Kelly's free-kick. MK Dons boss Paul Warne was delighted with the result, saying he was really pleased and buzzing for the lads. Warne also praised Tranmere, saying they didn't give up and were organised and fighting. The win secures the Dons' return to League One after three seasons away and also sees them leapfrog Bromley to go top. Tranmere remain 20th and are yet to seal their League Two status as they sit a point above the drop zone. The Dons' promotion is a significant achievement for the club, and they will be looking to build on this success in the upcoming season. With the team's current form and momentum, they will be a force to be reckoned with in League One. The fans will be eager to see how the team performs in the new league, and the club will be looking to make a strong impression. The promotion is also a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players, staff, and management, and they will be celebrating this achievement for a long time. The Dons' success is not just limited to the pitch, as the club has also been working hard to engage with the local community and promote the sport. The club's efforts have been recognised, and they have been praised for their commitment to developing young players and promoting the game. The Dons' promotion to League One is a significant milestone for the club, and they will be looking to build on this success in the upcoming season.
