A superb solo goal from debutant Frankie Okoronkwo saw Karl Robinson’s Salford City chalk up their first win of the season as they defeated his former side MK Dons 1-0.

Salford largely had to hold off sustained pressure from the Dons for most of the first half – Alex Gilbey having his first-minute shot saved by Jamie Jones.

Aaron Nemane caused plenty of problems for the hosts during the first 45 minutes, firstly squaring to Joe Tomlinson who was denied by Jones before the goalkeeper then charged down Nemane’s shot after 40 minutes.

Salford responded with a moment of magic from new arrival Okoronkwo.

The 19-year-old, who arrived on loan from Everton, danced around two challenges and then jinked past Luke Offord on the edge of the box before finishing excellently with a pin-point left-footed shot past Tom McGill.

After a string of important first-half saves, Jones’ most pivotal came six minutes from time as he tipped Dons substitute Tommy Leigh’s effort onto a post, ensuring Salford’s win.
