Harrogate Town's recent resurgence was halted by a 4-1 defeat to Milton Keynes Dons at Stadium MK. Tobias Brenan had given the Sulphurites the lead in the 25th minute, but Rushian Hepburn-Murphy's equalizer four minutes later sparked a Dons comeback. Luke Offord's goal in first-half stoppage time put the hosts ahead, and Aaron Collins and Ben Wiles added to the tally in the second half. The loss leaves Harrogate Town bottom of League Two, while Milton Keynes Dons moved into second place. The Sulphurites had been unbeaten in six outings prior to the defeat. Brenan's goal was a rebound effort after goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray parried Jack Evans' initial strike. But Hepburn-Murphy's finish at the second attempt drew the Dons level. Offord's glancing header from Dan Crowley's corner gave the Dons the lead, and Collins' curled effort extended the advantage. Wiles' header from Liam Kelly's cross sealed the win for the Dons. Harrogate Town's defeat snaps a promising run, and they will look to regroup and climb the table. The Sulphurites' next match will be crucial in determining their trajectory for the rest of the season. With the Dons now in second place, the League Two table remains congested, with just two points separating the teams between second and fifth place.
