Forest Green 0 Swindon 2 

League Two

 

RESULT: Forest Green Rovers 0 Swindon Town 2

Swindon scorers: Lancashire (86), Taylor (90+1)

 

 

 

Town's summer signing Matt Taylor proved there's life in the old dog yet with a fantastic second-half cameo that saw him grab a goal and an assist all in the space of 5 minutes.

 

It was nothing less than the away side deserved, with Town easily having the pick of the chances - Luke Norris coming closest at a corner only to see his shot deflected narrowly wide of the goal.

 

The deadlock was finally broken on the 86th minute, substitute Matt Taylor swinging in a corner which the unmarked Olly Lancashire was only too happy to nod into the empty net.

 

And as the game ticked into injury time - the icing on the cake! Taylor taking a speculative shot from 25 yards which somehow trickled under the body of the distraught Rovers keeper.
