Newport County and MK Dons played out a goalless draw as neither side could find a winner at Rodney Parade in League Two.

Will Evans hit the crossbar for the hosts in the second half before a string of Townsend saves denied MK Dons from taking all three points.
Dons drop a place to 13th with the draw while Newport remain in 20th.
Newport manager Graham Coughlan said: "Given our current predicament I've got to be satisfied with the performance and opportunities created.
"We've gone up against one of the top teams in this division, not just financially wise and stadium wise - that's a top top group of players that MK Dons have.
"We've done more than enough to win the game and Nick Townsend pulled off two magnificent saves."
