CALLUM Hendry's 18thminute winner made it back-to-back home wins for MK Dons, to leave a big smile on manager Mike Williamson's face.

Hendry tapped in Liam Kelly's cross after a lovely passing move and it proved enough against a dogged Walsall side.

And a jubilant Williamson said: "I thought we dominated large parts of the game and created a good amount of chances and defended when we needed to.

"Tom (McGill) made one or two big saves for us, but I was just incredibly proud and pleased with the reaction from the other night. We're 1-0 up on the run we're on against a team that have a lot of players that can hurt you all over the pitch with their physicality and who just want to consistently put it in the box.

"Of course we need a bit more composure and that was part of it. It was a relief to get the result. The performance was good, but can be so much better.
