RESULT: Doncaster Rovers 1 Swindon Town 2
Doncaster scorer: Main 41
Swindon scorer: Smith 54 (pen), Obika 90
A last gasp winner from Jon Obika kept Swindon's promotion challenge alive at the Keepmoat Stadium tonight.
It was a full-blooded encounter as you would expect from a Paul Dickov managed side, and it was the home team that was to inflict the first blow.
Curtis Main nipping in between two Town defenders to slot low past Wes Foderingham.
The Robins were level shortly after half time.
Ben Gladwin clumsily bundled over in the box by Rovers midfielder Dean Furman, and Michael Smith making no mistake from the resulting spot kick.
But Town refused to accept the point, and it was to be former Tottenham youngster Jon Obika to have the final say with an accurate left-footed drive to stun the home support.
Town manager Mark Cooper was pleased with what he saw "This is a difficult place to come. The way we did it as well with the last minute winner. It's been a pleasing evening but three points is key."
