RESULT: Swindon Town 2
Port Vale 2
Swindon scorers: Robert 12, Rodgers 66
Port Vale: Ikpeazu 21, Foley 90
Referee Brendan Malone was the villain of the piece at the County Ground this evening after awarding a controversial stoppage time penalty to visiting Port Vale.
It was a game that Town really should have won, having dominated for large spells against the Staffordshire outfit.
Fabien Robert put the Robins a goal to the good after just 12 minutes, reading Anton Rodgers' clever through ball and slotting past the Port Vale keeper.
The visitors struck back just 9-minutes later, before Town restored their lead shortly after the break through Anton Rodgers.
Just as it looked like the points were staying in Swindon, up stepped referee Brendan Malone - awarding an injury time penalty to the away side for a somewhat innocuous handball whilst Town had a player down injured.
Town manager Mark Cooper commented "We're a bit raw because we played well tonight - our best performance of the season and we should be stood here now with three points but, in the spirit of the game, the referee’s cost us three points. I want to know why, in the context of the game, he didn't wait for our player to get treatment."
