AET: Stoke 3 Swindon 4 

Capital One League One
 
RESULT: Stoke City 3 Swindon Town 4
 
Town scorers: Collins 27, 41, 120, Flint 105
Stoke scorers: Jones 63, Walters 86, Crouch 111
 
Swindon went toe-to-toe with the Premiership tonight - and found the knockout blow in extra-time!
 
Three goals from James Collins - the last in the final minute of added time - stunned Stoke, who had earlier come back from 2-0 down.
 
"This is something special, really special," exclaimed a hoarse Paolo Di Canio, "we were warriors and the finish was amazing. I'm very proud."
 
Dreamworld
 
Like Scotland in '78, Swindon were in dreamland at half-time after dominating the first period.
 
Two goals to the good thanks to a Collins' double (and a kick-up the backside from Di Canio - literally), the Robins could have easily been three up had De Vita not hit the post.
 
But when Kenwyne Jones got one back for the Potters in the second-half and then Tony Pulis threw on the cavalry in a triple substitition on 77 minutes, an equaliser seemed certain.
 
That came when James Walters fired lowed to eventually make it 2-2 to send the tie into extra time.
 
But after a rousing teamtalk from the manager, Swindon failed to keel over and first took the lead again through Flint's header on 105 minutes - before Crouch nonchalantly made it 3-3.
 
The finale came in style, though, from Collins, who lunged in with just seconds remaining to cap a famous victory.
