Fraser Horsfall broke Town's goal duck inside two minutes before Ryan Watson and Peter Kioso handed the visitors a 3-2 lead, only for Charlie Brown to snatch it at the death. Here are our player ratings from Stadium MK...
5. Joseph Mills
Cobblers struggled to make much headway on his side of the pitch and were far more dangerous down the right. Saw a stoppage-time header saved by Fisher... 6
6. Shaun McWilliams
He was unusually subdued for the first 20 when MK were in the ascendency but gradually helped turn the tide and get control in the middle. Replaced by Miller with 20 to go as Brady went for the win... 7
7. Bryn Morris
Town's midfield sat off the hosts early on but he really grabbed a foothold in the game from about 30 minutes on, punching through the lines with some good, positive passing. Broke up attacks too... 7.5
8. Jack Sowerby
Won the free-kick that led to Horsfall's quickfire opener but was a bit of a passenger during opening 45 minutes and it didn't go unnoticed by Brady, who made a double change at the break... 5.5
