Will Grigg scored twice as MK Dons secured a vital three points away at Sky Bet League One promotion rivals Swindon Town on Saturday.
The Dons started the afternoon a point behind their Wiltshire opponents but three second-half goals meant MK returned to Buckinghamshire with the three points.
Daniel Powell put Karl Robinson's side ahead on the hour as he instinctively headed home before Will took centre stage.
The Northern Irish striker, on a season long loan deal from Brentford, curled home a fine effort with 18 minutes to play before wrapping up the points late on with a close range finish.
The brace were Will's 16th and 17th goals of the season, and fifth in last four matches, as MK moved five points off second-placed Preston North End.
