SHOOT-OUT AGONY FOR TOWN 

Npower League One Play-Offs

 

AET: Brentford 3 Swindon Town 3

Brentford scorers: A Rooney 24 (OG), Donaldson 40, 47

Swindon scorers: A Rooney 44, Devera 57, Flint 90+4

  

Brentford win penalty shoot-out 5-4.

 

Swindon's Championship dream is over after the agony of a penalty shoot-out.  

 

Miles Storey missed Town's fourth spot-kick of sudden-death leaving Adam Forshaw to ultimately sent Brentford to Wembley.  

 

Swindon had earlier come back from 2-0 and 3-1 down to take the tie into extra time - with Aden Flint incredibly heading home from a corner in the final seconds of injury time.

  

Adam Rooney scored at both ends too.  

 

But after an equally dramatic extra period in which Wes Foderingham twice saved the Robins in the dying minutes and Nathan Byrne was sent off, a place in the play-off final against Yeovil couldn't be decided in normal play.

Proud

   

"It's a sad way to go out," commented manager Kevin Macdonald, "but I'm immensely proud of my players today. We fought hard and gave it our best. I can't ask for anything more than that."
