RESULT: Swindon Town 2 Sheffield United 1

 

Swindon scorers: Storey 18, Thompson 90

Sheffield Utd scorer: Doyle 59

 

 

Louis Thompson dramatically pounced in the last minute to keep Town's play-off dream alive.

 

After defending for much of the second-half against the FA Cup semi-finalists, Swindon counter-attacked through Nathan Byrne with the Deacon's clock ticking down to full time.

 

And when the winger slotted the ball in for Town's substitute striker, the County Ground went crazy when Thompson found the net from close range.

 

Miles Storey had earlier given the Robins the lead with a clinical finish just after the quarter hour (see video) before Doyle changed the look of the game on 59 minutes.

 

 

The win means leaves Town just one point of the top six.
