Swindon 1 Chesterfield 0SkyBet League One
RESULT: Swindon Town 1 Chesterfield 0
Swindon scorer: Kasim (77)
Town fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief today after securing their League One survival for another year.
It's been a disappointing few weeks for the long-suffering Town support, with points (let alone wins!) proving extremely difficult to come by.
And Swindon fans were made to wait again this afternoon, with the returning Yaser Kasim finally breaking the deadlock on 77 minutes.
The former-Tottenham Hotspur youth capping a man of the match performance with a well-placed strike from the edge of the area.
Jon Obika spurned a chance to extend the home sides advantage moments later, but on this occasion Swindon weren't made to pay for their missed opportunities - and any hopes of a late comeback were effectively ended with the dismissal of Chesterfield's Charlie Raglan with 2 minutes left on the clock.
Town coach Luke Williams later commented "It’s a relief and it's pleasing the manner in which we've played - the last two games in particular. I thoroughly enjoyed the last two games. I felt the club was represented very well with the style of play and the commitment of the players."
