Swindon 2 Coventry 2
League One
RESULT: Swindon Town 2 Coventry City 2
Swindon scorers: Gladwin 85, Ajose 90
Coventry scorers: Vincelot 66, Tudgay 81
After a run of five straight losses, Town fans were sent home in a comparatively jubilant mood this afternoon after securing an unlikely point against fourth placed Coventry.
Although it's far too early to say a corner has been turned, it was a much more assured performance from the home side.
Defensively, Town looked much improved, with the high-flying Sky Blues limited to just a handful of scrappy chances.
And scrappy was precisely the way to describe the opening goal from Romain Vincelot.
Vigouroux midjudging the flight of a lofted cross, leaving Vincelot to guide the ball past three diving Town defenders.
With ten minutes left on the clock, Coventry made it two - substitute Jacob Murphy taking a tumble in the box and leaving Tudgay to tuck away the spot-kick (albeit on the second time of asking).
Heads may have begun dropping in the terraces, but Ben Gladwin was having none of it - dropping the shoulder, bursting into the box and unleashing an unstoppable thunderbolt of a shot past the Coventry keeper.
And with seconds left on the clock - the equaliser!
Referee Dean Whitestone having no hesitation to point to the spot after seeing Ajose felled in the box, and the Town striker similarly showing no hesitation with the penalty - passing the ball nonchalantly into the net.
