Antony's Kay first goal of the season was the difference as MK Dons beat fellow promotion hopefuls Swindon Town.
The visitors took an early lead when Jonathan Obika tapped in from six yards from a Michael Smith cross.
The Dons fought back in the second half, first through 18-year-old Dele Alli who curled the ball into the top corner five minutes after the break.
Kay then smashed home from close range after a free-kick was flicked on to lift MK to third place in League One.
The defeat saw Mark Cooper's side drop to fifth.
MK Dons manager Karl Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio:
"We worked so hard on the tactics, I think you could see. We didn't give them an inch all 90 minutes.
"The disappointing thing for me was to concede, I thought it was against the run of play.
"Benik Afobe has had his best game in an MK Dons shirt - that's the biggest applause he's got off the fans and he's not even scored.
"All the players were brilliant today and the fans were magnificent."
