RESULT: Swindon Town 3 Bristol City 2

 

Swindon scorers: Ajose 19, 43; Ranger 87

City scorers: Flint 9, Emmanuel-Thomas 36

 

Swindon will be full of confidence ahead Chelsea's visit on Tuesday night after Nile Ranger's late strike settled today's M4 derby.

 

The Reds' new target man used all his muscle to fire home in front of a delighted Town End in the 87th minute to finally see off a stubborn City defence.

 

All the previous goals had come in a pulsating first-half that saw Swindon fall behind twice - the second time after former Town defender Aden Flint headed home a corner - before Nicky Ajose made it 2-2 with his second just before half-time.

 

The win lifts Town to 11th.
