Young Nigeria-eligible fullback Matthew Sorinola was the star of the show as Milton Keynes Dons defeated Accrington Stanley 3-2 in a League One clash at Stadium mk on Saturday evening.

The 20-year-old claimed the Man of the Match award thanks to the hat-trick of assists he provided during the encounter.

Sorinola is having a breakout season and has been linked with summer moves to several Premier League clubs including Leeds United, West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United

MK Dons opened the scoring after six minutes as Sorinola hit a pass perfectly into the path of Cameron Jerome who rounded the keeper and finished from a tight angle.

Ten minutes into the second half, the Anglo-Nigerian whipped in a cross into the area and it was turned home by Jerome for his second of the game.

In the 92nd minute, Sorinola came up with his third assist as Matthew O'Riley powered a header past the goalkeeper following an excellent delivery from the number 29.

A product of the Fulham academy, he has recorded 34 appearances for the first team of MK Dons since his professional debut in October 2019.
