RESULT: Wolverhampton Wanderers 3 Swindon Town 2
Wolves scorers: Golbourne 2, Doyle 43, Foley 90
Swindon scorers: N'Guessan 82, Mason 90
Two-nil down after Wolves scored very early on and then just before half-time when Republic of Ireland international Kevin Doyle headed home, Town supporters were bracing themselves for an unhappy away day in the West Midlands.
But whatever was said in the Town changing room at half-time totally changed the game.
Better team
Swindon were inspired after the break and time and time again cut through the Wolves defence - especially down the right-hand side - to cultivate plentiful chances for both Ryan Mason & Nile Ranger.
Mason hit the post and should have had his second hat-trick of the season before new signing Dany N'Guessan (on for Ranger) finally gave Swindon hope with a superb low strike with ten minutes to go.
And despite getting caught on the break when Wolves made it 3-1 in the last minute, Swindon still refused to lie down when Mason finally hit the net with a 35-yard effort.
"We came alive and played the way I know we can against one of the best sides in this division," commented Mark Cooper, "but the first-half mistakes cost us very deary."
Town drop to 12th.
