Eisa opened the scoring in the League One fixture at Gresty Road and then won a penalty early in the second-half. He took a weak spotkick which was saved, but MK won 4-1 to move up to seventh.

Another ex-Posh forward Kyle Vassell was on target for Cheltenham in a 2-2 home draw with Sheffield Wednesday, while Danny Andrew, a full-back, scored his fifth goal of the season in Fleetwood’s 3-3 draw with Wycombe. Wycombe carelessly threw away a 3-1 half-time lead.
