Swindon 1 Coventry 2 

League Two

 

RESULT: Swindon Town 1 Coventry City 2

Swindon scorer: Norris (20)

Coventry scorers: Doyle (32), Nazon (76)

 

 

 

Swindon Town's brief foray into the promotion places of League Two suffered a set back this evening as they slipped to a 2-1 defeat at home to Coventry.

 

After a scrappy opening 20 minutes, Town opened the scoring through Luke Norris - a fantastic volley that nestled into the top right corner.

 

The lead would only last a little over 10 minutes, as Michael Doyle soon levelled things up from a Jodi Jones cross.

 

With 20 minutes left on the clock, disaster for Swindon! James Dunne receiving a straight red card after a scuffle with Doyle.

 

Coventry were now on top, and just 4 minutes later they had the winning goal - Duckens Nazon thundering home a 20 yard effort that the Town keeper could only stand and admire.
