Sonny good take
Lucas great ball through

Thoroughly deserved

Did Lucas suddenly learn how to pass? He's shown a real eye for it so far this preseason.
My take is I don't think Lucas has suddenly discovered the vision he's hardly ever displayed before.

Rather, I think we're seeing the first signs of some actual offensive coaching. Whenever we get a wider frame, you can see our players are trying to make runs in behind, and I suspect whoever the player on the ball is has been told to get his head up and look to slide a runner in.

Often we have 2 or 3 runners, incl the likes of Nile John from midfield, making it very difficult for MK Dons defence to know who to cover.

And that is almost certainly down to the coaching.
