RESULT: AFC Wimbledon 1 Swindon Town 1 Wimbledon scorer: Hatton 6 Swindon scorer: Connell 73
Town survived a 'Crazy Gang'-style onslaught to extend their unbeaten run to ten games.
Wimbledon were ahead after only six minutes with a long-ball game from the off that unsettled the Swindon defence.
Samuel Hatton on target with a shot that ended Wes Foderingham's chance of making it a record six League clean-sheets in a row.
But by the time eventual goalscorer Alan Connell headed over the bar just before half-time, the Robins had weathered the storm.
Showing promotion-chasing form, Swindon re-organised and showed the home side how to play football during the second-half.
Captain Caddis was once again instrumental as Town matched their opponents before Connell's fourth of the season grabbed a point.
"We could have had a penalty late on but I'm happy with the way we approached the game after going behind," commented Di Canio.
Swindon stay in the play-off places.
