Victor Adebayo on song for Burton in League One

Published on: 04 December 2022

Victor Adeboyejo was on song as Burton Albion played out a 1-1 draw with MK Dons in Saturday’s English League One encounter.

Albion were handed a penalty on 26 minutes when a free kick routine saw the ball played back into the danger area and when Brayford missed his shot the ball fell for Ndaba who was brought down by Josh McEachran’s rash challenge.

Dons defender Daniel Harvie required treatment before the spot kick could be taken but the delay failed to distract Adeboyejo who calmly fired home more than two minutes after the original foul.

That effort was the Nigerian’s eleventh goal of the 2022-22 campaign.

The Brewers looked to be on course for just a second away win of the season courtesy of their leading scorer’s penalty in the first half but a strong comeback form the home side was finally rewarded when Bradley Johnson rose to head home a late equalizer.

“It is two halves of football. I thought the first half we were fantastic.” Dino Maamria told the club website.

“I thought our game plan was brilliant. We scored and we were winning the first half. The message at half time was that we cannot sit on that and we cannot allow them to have that much of the ball.

“We have to dominate the ball and go forward to get that second goal. But credit to MK Dons , although they are in the bottom four on the same points as us, they are a good team and there is no doubt about that and they cause problems.”
