RESULT: Swindon Town 5 Sheffield United 2

Swindon scorers: Smith (2) 13, 55 (pen); Obika 58, Williams 76, Thompson 86

Sheffield Utd scorers: McNulty 66, Davies 72

Swindon are up to 4th after outplaying one of the League One favourites.

But at three-nil up just before the hour, Town fans still had to endure a fright when the visitors quickly scored twice and threatened an unlikely equaliser.

The eventual scoreline, though, was more than a fair reflection of a dominating performance as smart as the suit worn by a delighted Mark Cooper.

"We were fantastic," Cooper described, "every player played his part in a great win, despite us conceding goals that we clearly shouldn't have.

"But we coped with the pressure and scored again which was especially important given how Sheffield came back at us."

BRIAN CLOUGH: 10 YEARS ON

Sheffield United were led today by Nigel Clough, son of the legenday Brian, who sadly died on this day in 2004. Here's Swindon's connection to old big 'ed himself
