MK Dons 4-0 Manchester United
Tuesday, August 26
Benik Afobe played a starring role in MK Dons' impressive victory over Manchester United in the second round of the Capital One Cup. Afobe replaced two-goal Will Grigg midway through the second half and had to wait just two minutes before adding his name to the scoresheet, clinically slotting past David De Gea. The striker added further gloss to the result in the closing stages, bulldozing his way through the visitors' defence before crashing home a left-footed effort.
