Daniel Harvie was able to breathe a sigh of relief when he finally broke his duck for the season in the penultimate game as Dons beatMorecambe2-0 on Saturday.

The Scot, who scored three goals last season, had to wait until the final 11 minutes of his 43rd appearance this season to scrape home the second goal of the game on his weaker right foot, not only getting off the mark but wrapping up the game atStadium MKas Dons kept alive their hopes of automaticpromotion.

Liam Manning said he had been getting on Harvie’s back of late about his lack of goals this season, and the upon scoring at last, the wing-back pointed over to the bench in celebration.

“我很高兴,但我想我瘦ld have more to my name this season,” said Harvie afterwards. “I've been working on it in training to add that element to my game so I'm pleased to score today.”

“The points were important today after the last two results. We needed to make it right today. We were obviously disappointed with the last two games, and we had to go out there and make it right which is what we did.

“It was about getting it right. We knew it would be tough as it always is. They wanted to disrupt it, but we are delighted with the three points.

“(Morecambe) are dangerous going forwards, they work it well in the final third and have a striker who has a lot of goals this season. But our back three dealt with him well, and kept him to a minimum.”
