Gillingham goalkeeper Glenn Morris reacts to their 1-0 League 2 victory over MK Dons

Gillingham goalkeeper Glenn Morris pulled off two crucial saves to deny MK Dons on Saturday but praised his team-mates for their part in the win.

Morris saved well from Joe Pritchard midway through the first half and then got down well to deny Liam Kelly late on as MK Dons desperately looked for a way of salvaging something from the match. The Gills won it 1-0.
