What the press made of the heavy defeat to The Dons
The SentinelMK Dons were too strong yet again for the Alex as they ran out comprehensive 5-0 winners at Gresty Road.
The Dons were 3-0 up at the break after a stunning first-half display which left the Alex shell-shocked.
Crewe improved in the second half but were never a match for their impressive opponents who could easily have managed more than the four they scored and match the 6-1 mauling they handed out at Stadium MK in September.
