Port Vale 0 Swindon 1
SkyBet League One
RESULT: Port Vale 0 Swindon Town 1
A resilient Swindon Town picked up another important 3 points at Vale Park on Saturday night.
It was a hard-fought victory which got off to the most perfect of starts.
A Harry Toffolo corner (and a kind deflection!) found full-back Branco free in the box, who headed home with ease with just 8-minutes on the clock.
Further chances quickly followed for the away side, with Massimo Luongo coming closest to making it two with his left footed shot which cannoned back off the post.
The second-half saw Port Vale take control of the game, but an impressive rearguard performance (including a man of the match display from Swindon's ever-popular shot-stopper) ensured another vital away victory.
Swindon manager Mark Cooper commented "I need a couple of stiff drinks after that. It was end-to-end, we started really well and could have put the game beyond them.
I felt we defended really well and we had to. All you can say is we’ve kept another clean sheet."
