That was our first story on this week's World of Football on Premier League Live with Sky Sports, as I joined Philip Egan in studio to talk about some of the stories you may have missed over the last week.

We then moved across to League 1, where AFC Wimbledon and the MK Dons met on Tuesday night. The pair have developed a bitter rivalry this century, after the former Wimbledon club relocated to Milton Keynes.

On Tuesday night, AFC Wimbledon hosted the MK Dons for the first time ever, and made their feelings on their opponents perfectly clear, refusing refer to them as the Dons at any point in the match programme.
